Another camel found dead with legs amputated in Sindh

After a recent horrific incident involving a cruel owner who severely tortured a camel and chopped off its leg for entering his fields, a similar case of animal cruelty emerged in Sindh this week when another camel was found dead in Kunri tehsil with all four legs amputated.

The lifeless animal was discovered at Morjhango Turn, according to videos obtained by a local news channel. The owner, Abdul Rashid, explained that the camel, which had been sick, went to graze the day before.

"We don't want to accuse anyone," Rashid said, adding that he was trying to gather information regarding the incident.

"I have around 40 to 45 female camels. While all of them returned after grazing last evening, she was left behind alone."

Rashid expressed his distress, saying, "God knows who made her run, beat her and cut her legs. We don’t know anything yet... we'll see what to do next."

This marks the second distressing event involving a camel in the past few weeks. Prior to Eid-ul-Adha on June 14, another incident of animal cruelty was reported in Sanghar's Mundh Jamrao area.

The video of the incident went viral on social media, showing the camel in agony and crying. The owner of the camel protested vehemently at the Sanghar Press Club, holding the severed leg.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah took notice of the incident, directing authorities to ensure appropriate action against those responsible. Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that five suspects involved in the incident have been arrested and a case has been registered against them.

"Though the matter had been settled between the camel owner and the accused, this act is inhuman and unacceptable, which is why the case was registered on behalf of the state," Sharjeel said.

Pakistan Peoples Party, Central Information Secretary and Member of the National Assembly Shazia Atta Marri, also took notice of the incident, prompting the district administration to take action. Following Marri's intervention, Sanghar Deputy Commissioner Imran Hassan Khawaja dispatched medical teams to treat the injured camel. The influential people responsible for mutilating the camel were reportedly shielded by Mangli police, who registered the case on behalf of the police instead of the camel's owner.
