If you're constantly provoked, your children are tortured, you're deprived of basic needs like food — and even denied the right to exist — wouldn't you want to react? It's normal. You and I would do the same — or even worse in such situation.
So in Rawalpindi, it began with a dog allegedly biting a man. In response, that dog was killed with bricks, and several others were poisoned.
A friend of mine used to feed these dogs regularly—they were never aggressive. People would steal their food and water bowls and throw stones at them.
One dog, with a fractured paw, was seen crying after someone randomly threw something at him. These animals were constantly abused. So if they react in fear or aggression, who’s really to blame?
When kind people pass, these dogs stay calm. But when cruelty becomes routine, even the gentle grow defensive.
And to the people who did this—I call them ugly, not for their faces, but for the ugliness inside them that led to such violence. May Allah ask everyone involved in this sin, ameen.
This needs to stop!
