Its good that the pics of the poor poor Donkey were removed by the mods before I got a chance to see this post.
While on this subject let me just share my thoughts about animals in general in Pakistan........most if not all people treat them like absolute crap.....I just cant imagine why people who sport long beards, act religious, consider themselves saintly and wise never ever go on to quote Hadees and examples from Prophet Muhammad's (Peace be upon him!) life when time and again we as muslims were adviced and taught to be kind and gentle to animals.
There are even Hadees forbidding to take rides on animals......how many people here knew that?? Leave alone load a poor Donkey till its bones creak and bring him out on the main road to be hit by a drunk-on-his-imagination-that-hes-king-of-the-road Corolla driver.
By the way what to do in such a situation??? Not many animal hospitals around.....NO trauma or emergency service for the poor bleeding animal......we are an uncivilized nation....heartless cold and cruel..........
But wait......we leave our fellow humans to die on the road so who am I to complain about a stupid donkey.....
Let me share an experience here.......I treated a patient brought to the Emergency of one of Karachis largest hospitals......he was a motorcyclist who lost his balance on a potholed road and was run over by a truck, though thankfully not very badly hurt as the wheels missed him by Allahs Grace........he told me that after he was knocked down and semi conscious he saw a man run towards him......happy to see a helper he called out for help........the 'helper' came up, swiftly emptied the bikers pockets, snatched his cellphone and disappeared before a crowd could gather to see the 'tamasha'.......
Such are our morals as a nation........God have mercy on the poor Donkey as nothing can be expected from us........
