what a shot!
animal crurelty!
Have they not invented the wheel in Pakistan yet? Geez, take 2 of those boards with 2 wheels and an axle and now the load is simply pulled... WTF?
"if I only had a brain!"
Ooops, I just reviewed the photo and see a cart in the background and now realize the cart was probably loaded unbalanced.
I hate that this type of animal cruelty and it happens every day. Should not surprise you tho considering the way humans treat each other.
sadly this is a regular occurrence in this country and many others whose people rely on working animals to earn money. Well done to whoever took this photo and passed it on, only by knowing what is going on can people help, too many people just turn away and do nothing...I urge you all to support The Brooke who is working hard to stop this
Thank you Ella for the Brooke info. This picture was so distubing that it moved me to do something! Hopefully everyone else will feel the same.
VERY disturbing scene and Priorities? One of the men in this pic is wearing Versace jeans... REALLY???
Gonna go with " counterfeit " on the jeans ...
here's an idea perhaps if they took a few planks off the sides of the donkey would help ...WTF is wrong with people
This type of animal cruelty goes on ALL around the world! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the size of the load compared to the size of the animal! This is despicable!
This is hideous...that poor animal must suffer something terrible. Animals in these countries are slaves.
This is the harsh reality of how animals are treated all over the world. Thank you for sharing about The Brooke, at least there are organizations that are working to help animals in these countries.
SOOO very sad and upsetting
Very, very sad. This kind of photo really makes me hate human beings. Sometimes people are disgusting.
Where are the mullahs with long bear and Islam's defender. That is what you teach these people to treat the animals like this.Where is the islamic teachings? Can they explain to us if Islam teaches this kind of crulety. These people are worst than animals.
Remember are heavenly Father is watching all!! This sick behavior of humans and animals it will not be tolerated in his kingdom. We will all face him one day and be accountable for all actions..
If they treat their animals this way, how do they treat their family? Truly animal cruelty.
THIS IS HORRIBLE....someone needs to tie one of those gown-wear'n dudes to that cart and see how they feel! COMPLETE CRUELTY!!
i pray this photo represents the exception and not the norm for how pakistani working animals are treated. it appears that several people have dropped their things to help the donkey. i'd like to think one of them also dressed down the owner for their cruelty.
this picture really mad me upset poor animal can't handle it any more. lets try put the owner of the donkey under that heavy load and see how far he goes. poor animal
This picture made me mad, poor donkey can't take the heavy load any more. we should put the donkeys owner where the donkey is right now and see how far he gets. poor animal this really broke my heart.
Lets hope criminal cruelty charges are brought against the "owner" of this poor creature. May God have mercy on their souls.
Linda, in countries like Pakistan the concept of animal cruelty doesn't even exist.
The expression on this poor creature says it all. How cruel to do this to a creature that depends on humans for it's care and compassion.
Suffering equines exist all over the world. To support a wonderful charity dedicated to improving horse welfare around the world, visit http://www.worldhorsewelfare.org/
thank you Pilar! I personally feel that I would not have had a tenth of the remorse if one of those people were being overworked...animals can't defend themselves, especially a small, wormy, starved little donkey...bastards. This is why I protect every horse that comes into my hands even in this country where we are so blessed with plenty...they suffer here too, but once they get to me or someone like me, whoever wants to harm them had better have an army!
This is exactly why I am leaving every penny of my estate to benefit non homo-sapien animals, as did Leona Helmsley. Mother Earth will be taking care of man, her mistake, within 100 years, as Professor/astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, et al predict.
Animals will be SO much better off - once again.
I have lived in or extensively visited Indonesia, China, Palestine and Thailand. I have never understood why people who depend on animal labor for their living treat those animals so poorly. If the animal is sick or weakened or even dies from abuse and overuse, it surely will hurt the owner in his pocket. Not only is the behavior cruel, it is just stupid.
because they're mindless inhuman monkeys! At least in the case of Pakistan, you're talking about a country which is SUPPOSED to be civilized (trained?? housebroken???) but a good proportion of the male populace still considers self-immolation a good way to get rid of a wife who's been with them 10 months without conceiving. they throw her away and get another, the same way their animals are treated (the non-human ones I mean)
ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY .. THIS IS IN FACT AGAINST ALL RELIGIONS EVEN Islam ..... We have to do somethin' especially for donkeys 'n hens ....
The owner of that cart is the real DONKEY !
Hey PETA.... See this picture? Please do something about it. Seeing the picture of the poor donkey makes me cry.
Just knowing how people are treated in third world countries makes me expect this, but I hate it! They are probably only helping because his little body is blocking traffic. This is so sad.
