It may be noted that animal cruelty cases are increasing day by day in Pakistan. In the last few months, there have been several cases reported where local landlords have tortured animals in little disputes.

Last month, an influential man in Rawalpindi chopped off the ears of a female donkey. The police said the man did physical violence against the pregnant donkey for entering his farms in the area of Rawat.

Moreover, a landlord based in Sindh’s Sanghar area amputated a female camel’s leg for similar reasons. The Sindh police apprehended five people for allegedly cutting the poor animal’s leg, while the camel was shifted to Karachi for treatment.
