As humans we have our own troubles and Pakistan can be a summoning place to live in, animals go through the same, and often worse, struggles than we do. They do not have the capability to speak up for themselves, and so their circumstances are often not considered.
“Animals cant speak for themselves and when they do they are often ignored.”
Pakistan is not an animal-oriented country which is why rescuing animals and providing them with appropriate shelters is difficult.
“Why waste time on animal rights when humans don’t get their rights here?”
This is the usual reply to the idea of animal welfare or animal rights in Pakistan. Meanwhile, animal lovers and activists aspire to refine the mindset that makes both these issues mutually exclusive.
The plight of ‘working animals‘ in Pakistan, much like all developing countries, relies on animals for laborious tasks. Equine animals, which include horses, donkeys and mules, face the impact of animal abuse in most of the cases. 
Bringing about a behavioural change, amongst the people of Pakistan, is vital and PAWS is in the process of designing a ‘humane school kit’ to counsel students about the significance of compassion towards animals. 
Lastly, I’d like to say that we as humans have no right to decide whose life is more important. We are not as important or indispensable as we think we are, and it is time to let go of our ego and show a bit of empathy.
