Mirpurkhas man arrested after video shows sexual assault of dog

A van driver was arrested in a village in Mirpurkhas after he was filmed sexually assaulting a dog. A video of the disturbing incident had been circulating on social media.

Police took action after the video sparked outrage online, eventually leading to the arrest of the perpetrator. The accused was identified as Muhammad Bakhsh Solangi.

A local journalist also shared the video, calling the incident shocking and shameful. Hashim Shar stated that while humans face such crimes daily, even animals are not spared by individuals with such a heinous mindset.

He added that the incident not only reflects the weakness of existing laws but also exposes the alarming moral decline within society.

Animal welfare in Pakistan frequently comes under criticism, with repeated incidents of mistreatment, and zoos lacking proper facilities for animal care. As a result, many animals continue to suffer.

Stray dogs, in particular, often face human cruelty, being beaten, mistreated, chased away, and even killed.
