Man cuts off buffalo’s tongue for eating his fodder in Sargodha

ISLAMABAD: In another case of animal brutality, a man was arrested on the charge of chopping off a buffalo’s tongue for eating fodder from his loader rickshaw in Shahpur, Sargodha on Monday.

Police said that the accused Bilal was taking fodder in a loader rickshaw when a buffalo ate the fodder on the way, to which he cut off his tongue with a sickle, state-run APP reported.

Following the order, the police arrested the accused and started an investigation.

The incidents of animal cruelty caught the spotlight after last month’s incident when a local landlord in Sindh’s Sanghar district was accused of chopping off a camel’s leg after it strayed into his fields for grazing. As soon as the case was reported in the media, social media erupted for action against the accused and voiced a comprehensive policy to address acts of animal abuse.

In another incident in the Umerkot district of Sindh last month, a camel was found dead with its legs amputated.
