KARACHI: Another donkey was brutally tortured and injured and was handed over to the animal rescue team Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation (ACF) on Wednesday. Two days ago, a donkey, with the name of political rival written on his body, was beaten up during a political rally, the same NGO took care of the poor animal. Now today, after the case was reported and the animal was given the first aid, NGO took it to social media and stated, “Another day, another story of abuse. We do not know if it was related to anything political…all we know is that it is unimaginably horrific abuse at the hands of our people.” The NGO’s post read, “This donkey was reported to us from Gulshan-e-Iqbal… It appears he has been pelted and beaten on the head repeatedly by jagged edge objects or stones. His skull is completely visible, maggots have eaten all the flesh within it. His left eye has been gouged out.” “He was bleeding so profusely we had to let it flow into buckets. We ensured his bleeding has stopped, given painkillers, maggots removed and wound thoroughly cleaned,” it further stated. The NGO further noted, “Whether political or not, this is still a hate crime at the hands of our people.” The NGO further raised questions about Animal Protection laws and said, “Where are the laws that protect animals? Why have they been forgotten or perhaps, never implemented properly in the first place?” “Raise your voices. Don’t let this be the future for our children,” ACF concluded.
