On Tuesday, ACF Animal Rescue took to social media to report a horrifying incident.
The animal shelter has found a donkey that had acid poured down its throat, the post shared was captioned with the entire story about how the animal shelter found the donkey and what it was suffering from.
The post read, “Someone poured acid down a donkey’s throat a week ago. And that donkey has still been working on the roads, lugging a heavy cart ever since. He has not been able to eat or drink anything. Saliva just keeps falling out of his mouth because his throat and mouth are completely burnt and blistered. We can’t imagine what’s happened to his insides.”

Unfortunately, the donkey named “Bear” by the shelter did not survive.
According to the team at ACF, “Prying open a donkey’s mouth takes strength. This was a 2-3 person job, premeditated abuse. They went to a store to buy acid for this purpose &then committed the greatest horror upon an unsuspecting innocent animal that couldn’t defend himself who’s body was set on fire from the inside.”
The post further read, “These men are still out there. Its usually males who commit violence towards animals, statistically speaking. Also, studies show that most murderers &rapists all start with animal abuse.”
