Let them eat, they are hungry. According to recent figures poverty level has risen to 37% from 23% in last 5 years in Pakistan. 40% people of Pakistan cannot even think of eating Fresh Meat. Too many poor live in Pakistan.
Every few days Pakistan makes the worst kind of headlines: bombings in markets and mosques, battles with the Taliban. But, much less widely reported, the daily lives of millions of Pakistanis are consumed by another problem. They have to cope with desperate poverty. How can you stop them eating fresh meat of donkey when nothing is available for them to survive. Get them meat, they will stop eating donkeys.
In recent years, Pakistan has received billions in the form of aid, loans and debt rescheduling. The hungry might be forgiven for asking where all the money went.
