Responding With In 12 Hours, KP Police Arrests Culprits Involved In Shooting The Dog Wrapped In PTI Flag

Animal abuse being part of our political rallies and protests has, thankfully, come under discussion during General Elections 2018. Safely being called as one of the most progressive elements of GE 2018, the sensitive yet imperative issue came under attention after some PTI workers wrote ‘Nawaz’ on a donkey and brutally abused it physically.

The donkey, named and hailed as ‘Hero’ couldn’t survive. However, another innocent animal wasn’t even given chance to fight the wounds as it was shot – till there was an ounce of life left in the helpless creature.

The incident took place in Bannu when a dog, wrapped in Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf’s flag was shot, video recorded and shared on Facebook. The video went viral and was wildly condemned by the internet community, social media activists and animal rights’ organizations.

The video further rose the concerns of the people on the issue and subjecting innocent animals to physical abuse for political rivalries is, in all its forms, unacceptable and condemnable. Social media community did all they could and started a petition for the urgent arrest of the culprits.
