“What kind of violent and ruthless people exist in Pakistan?”
A donkey in Pakistan was subjected to extreme torture, which included its legs being severed.
The brutal incident occurred in Bahawalpur, Punjab, within the jurisdiction of Inayati Police Station, leaving the community and animal rights activists outraged.
According to a complaint lodged by the donkey’s owner, four individuals committed heinous acts against the animal.
This included unnatural abuse and severe physical torture.
Police have registered a case, naming one suspect and implicating three others.
One of the accused has been arrested, and authorities are actively pursuing the remaining culprits.
The injured donkey has been moved to a veterinary hospital for urgent treatment.
The police have assured that they will take all possible measures to bring justice.
The incident has ignited widespread condemnation on social media, with users demanding stricter enforcement of laws to prevent such inhumane acts.
A user said: “Whoever cut its legs, cut their legs as well and leave them to die.”
Another wrote: “I hope their limbs are cut off the same way!”
One commented: “What kind of violent and ruthless people exist in Pakistan?”
Another remarked: “Satan must be afraid of Pakistani men now.”
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case.
Instances of animal abuse have become alarmingly frequent in Pakistan, highlighting the urgent need for systemic change.
In Shahpur city in 2024, a man mutilated a buffalo’s tongue, while another severed the ears of a donkey in separate episodes of cruelty.
In Rawat, a pregnant donkey was brutally beaten for entering a farm, an act that drew ire but no significant legal repercussions.
Another distressing case unfolded in the Chiniot district, where two suspects were arrested for torturing a female donkey with sticks and rods.
They left the donkey critically injured with severe injuries.
Similarly, in Sanghar district, a man chopped off a camel’s leg after it wandered into his field, causing minor damage to crops.
The camel’s owner staged a protest outside the Sanghar Press Club, holding the severed leg and demanding justice.
The incident went viral on social media, sparking outrage but little concrete action.
These acts underline the growing need for stronger legislation to protect animals in Pakistan.
The public is calling for accountability and enhanced awareness campaigns are increasing, as citizens demand stricter penalties to deter such behaviour.
The ongoing cycle of cruelty highlights a systemic issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further suffering.
While police continue their efforts to address this latest atrocity, the question remains: how long will animals in Pakistan remain vulnerable to such inhumanity?
