KARACHI – The ‘Hero’ donkey that had suffered abuse at the hands of political supporters in Pakistan, has died and left social media users in the country furious.
On July 16, Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation (ACF) in Karachi had received the injured donkey, who was tortured after supporters of a political party wrote the name of a political opponent on his body. Today (July 23), the animal rescue center posted an update on their Facebook page confirming that the animal had died.
ACF wrote: “Our Hero just passed away. Shame on us for doing this to him and not being able to curtail this menace of torture and abuse of animals and human beings alike. We are to be blamed for not bothering to raise our voices for the most ignored, neglected and tortured inhabitants of our society. We have to think and act upon this, there cannot be and should not be more Heroes who suffer at the hands of humans.”
In less than four hours, the post had been shared more than 1,400 times and social media users on Facebook and Twitter are asking for justice. People are sad and furious at the same time. Animal Cruelty observed at its peak and till when innocent souls will be suffering injustice.

Let’s have a look at some of the comments on ACF’s post on Facebook:
We are highly disappointed by this cruel act of some political party members. They should be given proper punishment and legal notice by the authorities immediately. Although there is already a law against animal abuse in the country. The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1890, has strict punishments for the protection of animals from human brutality.
We request people to support ACF for this before it’s too late. Every soul is precious!
