  • Dog beaten, tortured, hanged in public

    Trigger Warning: Animal Abuse

    A dog was beaten, tortured and hanged in broad daylight by a man accompanied by a huge mob in Karachi as per JFK Animal Rescue And Shelter.

    In the video, a man can be seen beating a tied up dog with a stick in front of a mob.

    Reportedly, the incident took place in Ghausia Mobile Market, Kharadar, in Karachi.

    As per the animal rescue and shelter, “Apparently they plan on doing this to all street dogs in that area.”

    Animal abuse and zoos in Pakistan have long drawn international condemnation for their mistreatment of animals. Last year, on December 16, Islamabad’s Marghazar Zoo was shut down after the Islamabad High Court ordered for Kaavan the elephant and two brown bears Babloo and Suzie to be relocated to sanctuaries abroad.

  • McDonalds named ‘best restaurant in Karachi’ causes foodie uproar

    The All Pakistan Restaurant Association organized the first ever APRA Awards, which were based on customer choices and were created to celebrate Karachi’s innovative food scene.

    The restaurant of the year award nominees included the uber popular SteakbyCFU, Karachi’s favourite Kebabjees and the once great Koel. Not only did McDonalds not fit in the list as it was the only fast food joint, but as the winner, it raised many eyebrows.

    Ginsoy won the food legend award which also caused much grief since Waheed, Karachi Broast and Hanifia were also on the list

    Many people called the list a joke, others questioned why Karachi’s legendary restaurants weren’t on the list and other came up with award lists of their own.
