A Bukhara region's Peshkun district resident who severely injured a donkey on April 11 was sentenced to fifteen days. The animal died after exsanguination. The incident was reported on the morning of April 8 by the Mehr va Oqibat animal protection society.
The man, born in 1985, was charged with an administrative offense under Article 111 (cruelty to animals), and the offender was sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest, Supreme Court spokesman Aziz Abidov said.
‘Those dissatisfied with the court's decision of the first instance can file an appeal with the Bukhara Regional Court, and the prosecutor can file a protest,’ the report says.
Earlier, a man posted footage on Facebook showing the bleeding donkey with its ears cut off. The video author confessed that his fellow villager committed the cruelty. When the animal was smaller, a fellow villager cut off his tail.
Animal protection society Mehr va Oqibat reported the incident to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan with a request to find the perpetrator and punish him by law.
On April 8, the Department of Internal Affairs of the Bukhara region reported that an administrative protocol had been drawn up for U. A. (born 1985) under article 111, part 2, of the Code of Administrative Liability - cruel treatment of an animal resulting in its death or injury.
