Target: Dr. Usman Anwar, Inspector General of Police, Punjab, Pakistan
Goal: Ensure full criminal investigation and prosecution under animal cruelty laws for the alleged maiming of a buffalo.
A deeply disturbing incident has been reported in which a landlord allegedly used an axe to sever the legs of a buffalo after the animal entered his agricultural field. According to police statements, the act was carried out intentionally and resulted in extreme suffering to the animal.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that a criminal case has been registered and that the accused has been taken into custody. Investigators stated that further inquiry is underway and that legal action will proceed based on the findings. The reported act, if proven, constitutes severe cruelty toward a defenseless animal and raises serious concerns about the enforcement of animal protection laws.
This petition urges authorities to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserves and to ensure that existing protections under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act are fully enforced.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Inspector General Anwar,
We are writing to express grave concern regarding reports that a buffalo was maimed with an axe after entering a crop field, resulting in catastrophic injuries and extreme suffering. Police have confirmed that a case has been registered and that the accused has been taken into custody.
If substantiated, this act represents a clear and serious violation of animal cruelty laws. Violence of this nature cannot be dismissed as a property dispute, as animals are living beings entitled to protection under the law.
We respectfully urge the Punjab Police to ensure a thorough investigation and to pursue prosecution to the fullest extent permitted by law. Strong and transparent enforcement is essential to deter future acts of cruelty and to affirm that such conduct will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
