A young camel is tortured and crippled by a Sukkur feudal lord for allegedly trespassing for water.

A young female camel that ventured into his farmland to get water and ruined his crop was cruelly tormented by a feudal lord in the Saleh Pat neighborhood of Sukkur, Sindh, on Thursday.

The landlord allegedly broke one of the camel’s legs, injured the animal in the face, tied it to a tractor, and dragged it across the ground while beating it with wood.

According to the owner, he attempted to have the injured animal treated at a neighboring hospital, but the medical staff turned him away.

The event was brought to the attention of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Friday, who stated that such animal abuse could never be accepted.

He gave Syed Kamil Shah, the head of the Sukkur District Council, instructions to make sure the camel was given the right medical attention.

Kamil Shah contacted the owner in accordance with CM’s instructions and assured them that the government will set up treatment.

On the basis of the owner’s allegation, Kandhra police have arrested one suspect and booked three others; the others are still being sought.

A landlord allegedly cut off Cammie’s camel’s leg in June 2024 as retaliation for the animal going into his farm to find feed.

The government acted quickly after a social media video of the injured camel went viral.

The deputy commissioner of Sanghar claims that she was sent to Karachi, which is more than 250 kilometers distant, the very next day and has been residing in a shelter there ever since.

When she first came from Sanghar, she was frightened. We heard her heartbreaking sobs. Khan told AFP, “She was scared of men.”

Gaining her trust was one of the caretakers’ toughest tasks.

Khan went on to say, “I cannot put her condition into words,”

The caregivers brought Callie, another baby camel, to help her heal. Cammie was comforted by her presence and, after seeing her new friend, attempted to stand on her own two feet for the first time.

“Cammie had been confined to her enclosure for almost four to five months before Callie arrived,” Khan stated.

The shelter, Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS) Benji Project, procured her a prosthetic leg from a US-based company so she could walk on all fours once more after she had healed her wound and finished the first stages of rehabilitation.

“She is not made to walk by us. We wait for 15 to 20 minutes after the prosthetic limb is attached. After that, she gets up by herself and walks gently,” Hussain, a veterinarian, told AFP.

Cammie will stay at the shelter indefinitely, according to her caregivers.
