Ushna Shah, an actress and WWF-Pakistan Goodwill Ambassador, disclosed on Wednesday that a donkey had been force-fed acid. Pakistan’s top animal rescuer, Ayesha Chundrigar, stated yesterday that the donkey had passed away from its wounds the previous day.
Bear, the acid-burn donkey passed away yesterday, she said on Twitter and Instagram.
Ayesha is the founder and director of the Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation (ACF), which saved Bear and started treating it right away. On her social media sites, she posted the horrifying facts of its attack, in which it was found that Bear had “acid poured down his neck.”
Her tweet read: “His entire body from the insides, his intestines, his lungs, his throat, his mouth all burnt, blistered, set aflame from the inside out. Silent tears fell from his eyes and his expression was one of frozen fear. ”
Donkeys are tough creatures, as noted by Chundrigar, who wrote:
“It takes a lot of manpower to try open a mouth of a donkey to then pour acid in to hear it sizzle away his insides. This was premeditated. Donkeys don’t scream out loud, he must have been standing silently, eyes wide in shock, as his life eroded away.”
She also described the incident’s course of action:
“In revenge towards his owner, allegedly, someone had committed this Jeffrey Dahmer-esque act and this is very common.”
“The intention one set to harm an innocent animal that cannot defend himself. Then going to a store to purchase acid that is available easily for a few rupees. A gang of 2-3 men forcing it down a donkey’s throat as a source of fun and running off free to do the same to others,” Chundrigar continued.

She remarked in a series of tweets that males are statistically more prone to do such cruel actions and that such individuals often turn into rapists and killers.
“We don’t remove the head from the root. We allow it to develop into a huge, hideous monster that infiltrates our society, and then we ask ourselves why,” raged Chundrigar.
