Don't take it out on the donkeys
I WAS horrified to read that, following the latest cricket scandal, angry protesters in Pakistan took their revenge out on innocent donkeys.
They led a procession of donkeys with the names of the accused players fixed to the foreheads of the animals, then proceeded to pelt the poor creatures with rotten vegetables, shoes and stones.
It is terrible that people can inflict such cruelty, especially as these little donkeys worked hard in the floods for their callous owners carrying huge burdens whilst struggling to walk along with water up to their necks. No mention whatsoever has been made as to how many poor animals have lost their lives in the Pakistan floods.
