If one day, horse racing becomes illegal, should the horses be arrested in relation to that too? After all they had no say in what they were being made to do.?
But it seems like in Pakistan, humans and animals are seen equally guilty of crimes. And THAT is probably why a donkey was arrested along with eight other suspects over gambling charges.?
The bizarre incident was reported from Rahim Yar Khan city in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
The police reportedly seized Rs 1,20,000 cash from the suspects in a raid. The accused were using the money in a donkey race (but usme donkey ki kya galti?). The Station House Officer (SHO) said that the donkey was arrested as it was named in the First Information Report (FIR) along with the eight other suspects, according to Samaa TV.?
A video of the donkey who has been arrested along with other accused has been doing rounds on social media. It was shared by Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat with the caption, ¡®Donkey arrested for participating in a gambling racing in Rahim Yar Khan. Eight humans also rounded up, Rs 120,000 recovered¡¯.
Will the accused be punished and if yes, what about the donkey??
While one donkey in Pakistan has become infamous for gambling, another one?shot to fame because of its ¡®melodic braying¡¯, last year.?
Emily lives at an animal shelter in the city of Pune, and she became an internet sensation last year after a clip of her ¡®singing¡¯ went viral.?Emily¡¯s centre has cats, dogs, cows and even large buffaloes who play with her.
A video of Emily showing off her vocal range was uploaded on a social media page, where it became an instant hit.
"Usually our videos have a lot of sick animals and animals being rescued, and it's generally heavy and sad," RESQ Charitable Trust head, Jessica Roberts, told AFP.
"So for a change we decided to put this video of Emily singing, and the response from the public has been amazing."
Roberts also said that they were inspired by Harriet, another singing donkey from Ireland who also became an internet star for her ¡®operatic singing.¡¯ "I think Emily's singing started because she likes to beg for treats. The moment she sees a treat bucket she starts singing," she added.
Those are the tales of two donkeys.?
