An innocent donkey in Pakistan endured horrible abuse at the hands of political opponents on Monday. Social media users in the country were shocked at the torture the innocent donkey endured; the heartbreaking story was described on the Facebook page of the rescue organization Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation (ACF).

“With the upcoming elections looming upon us, no one is spared from the wrath of this time…not even the most helpless of animals. (June 25 election)

This is a hate crime. A donkey beaten to pulp, punched in the face and abdomen several times, nose broken, kicked all over his body until he collapsed, has rope marks and a car rammed into him….all of this to describe one political party as an “ass” by some hooligans as written on the poor donkey’s body.

We have blurred out the names on the donkey’s body as we will not involve ourselves in this mess. The rest is up to you all to decide.”

The donkey, now named Hero,  has serious wounds all over his body. An old injury near his flank was an old abscess left untreated which burst when the animal collapsed. His nostrils and face had been bleeding – ripped apart from having been tortured just for politics.

Hero was discovered on Monday by a Good Samaritan  who found the donkey on the ground trembling and in obvious pain. Animal advocates have been asking the rescue organization to identify the political party in order to demand an apology and condemn the deplorable conduct against an innocent animal.

On Tuesday morning, the group offered an update on Hero’s condition:

“We have named him Hero as it takes a true hero of the heart to stand quietly, collapse helplessly, and endure painfully as this donkey did.

Hero is very critical right now and under constant observation, IV fluids and treatment. He couldn’t even stand on his own, we had to lift him. He wants to eat but his mouth is full of wounds. He had severe respiratory issues, internal abdominal swelling due to the kicks and punches. He is still trembling. We are trying to help the trauma subside via rehabilitation methods to make him feel safe enough to trust us, hoping that will generate a will to live within him.”

Animal cruelty laws in Pakistan were updated this year to ensure stricter punishments for the protection of animals. Somehow the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act has gone unheeded during this contentious election.

Get well soon Hero.

  1. sometimes I am overwhelmed by the cruelty of people from all over our world. I would enjoy punching their lights out. oh that poor donkey,, such kind beasts!

  2. This is a global problem, laws are on the books but either not enforced or not strong enough. Until we get some people in authority with some BACKBONE to actually enforce the laws, no animal is safe! I’m glad you are safe now Hero!

  3. This is disgusting and hope they find the scum who did this and make them pay for this poor donkey’s care. Inhumane non-human cretins devoid of any feelings. Please keep us informed as to how Hero gets better.

  4. I hope that they get the punishment they truly deserve! Why would anyone want to allow to come to power monsters who can commit such horrible atrocities?
