The poor animal, named ‘Hero’, was being treated by ACF Animal Rescue.
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 23rd July, 2018) The donkey, that was beaten up by political workers following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s statement terming Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) workers as ‘donkeys’, passed away on Monday.
The poor animal, named ‘Hero’, was being treated by ACF Animal Rescue. The foundation shared on Monday that Hero has passed away.
“Our Hero just passed away. He was doing a lot better until yesterday, he managed to stand up on his own, eat powdered food although he had a broken jaw, and drink water on his own. He had been on IV drips, multivitamins and antibiotics. His external wounds were healing. He was just skin and bones and unbelievably weak and malnourished, like he was starved for days. And constipated at the same time. He had colic that can be fatal in donkeys although his seemed to be getting better. We kept his temperature under control, massaged and cuddled him to calm down him as he would try take faltering steps, distressed, suffering from post traumatic stress, his heart pounding a mile a minute,” the ACF Animal Rescue said in its post.
Sharing the sad news, it added, “However, this morning, his blood pressure was too high, his temperature kept fluctuating hence he was under constant observation, he started bleeding from his nose and he couldn’t breathe properly anymore. His internal injuries due to the violence he faced, were too much for him to bear. He just saw a week of happiness, peace and love with us, and we saw this beautiful, intelligent personality who was abused and tortured for absolutely no reason, for no fault of his own,” the post added.
“Hero should never had suffered for even a moment in life. Hero was the epitome of purity and innocence. 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,” it conlcuded.
