Landlord arrested for chopping off donkey’s legs in Muzaffargarh

Incident occurs in Jatoi Tehsil of Muzaffargarh; police apprehend suspect

A landlord in Muzaffargarh allegedly chopped off two legs of a donkey as punishment for entering his field, according to media reports.

The incident occurred in Jatoi Tehsil, where the local landlord severed the donkey's legs after it entered his field in search of water.

According to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Jatoi police station, the suspect used a hoe to amputate the animal's legs.

The police arrested the suspect and registered a case against him following a complaint by the donkey's owner. The Livestock Department has provided medical assistance to the injured donkey.

This incident is part of a disturbing trend of animal abuse cases emerging in Pakistan in recent months.
Last month, an influential man in Rawalpindi chopped off the ears of a pregnant female donkey for entering his farms in the Rawat area.

Earlier, a landlord in Sindh's Sanghar area cut a female camel's leg for similar reasons. The Sindh police apprehended five people involved in the latter case, and the camel was shifted to Karachi for treatment.
