Due to the lockdown period, only market stalls selling basic commodities such as food and medicine can continue to operate. The pet shop owner had to secretly feed the pets at night.
According to animal rescuers, two weeks after the lockdown, when the authorities finally allowed them to enter the market, about 70% of the animals had died.
When animal activist Ayesha Chundrigar arrived at the Karachi pet market, he saw a heart-wrenching and shocking scene. The surviving pets were kept in cages with no light and no ventilation. The surviving pets were sitting shaking and sitting with other dead animals. Among. Z1z
Chundrigar, who is in charge of ACF Animal Rescue, said: "When we entered the house, most of them were dead, about 70%. Their bodies were lying on the ground. It was too horrible, I can't tell you." The same thing happened in the eastern city. It is also happening in Lahore. About 20 dog corpses were thrown into the sewers near Tollinton Market. Tollinton Market has also been closed and a large number of animals were starved to death. After persuading market officials to allow Kiran Maheen's rescue,
was able to rescue more than twenty dogs, rabbits and cats, but many of them have died.
Maheen said: "When the police opened the blinds, many animals were already lying there and died. These animals died of suffocation due to lack of air."
These poor animals are really pitiful to pay for human mistakes. I can't imagine what they suffered mentally before they died. I really don’t know how long this unprecedented disaster will last. I hope it will end soon.
