Prank Turns Tragic: Outrage Over Puppy Pascal’s Harrowing Ordeal in Istanbul Sparks Animal Welfare Rally
In Istanbul, Turkey, a puppy named Pascal became the victim of a cruel prank that has sparked outrage among animal lovers. Pascal was smeared with glue and dunked in mud, leaving him in a dire state.
This left the poor dog covered in a hardened mixture resembling cement, severely affecting his health and leaving him struggling to move.
The dried layer of glue and mud caused such poor circulation that Pascal’s ears turned gangrenous and had to be partially removed.

Traumatized and scared, Pascal hid in a corner until he was found by a local rescue center. A veterinarian carefully removed the solidified layer from his fur, but the extent of the damage meant that Pascal required ongoing medical care.
Following his rescue, Pascal was found to be suffering from severe malnutrition and psychological trauma, making him apprehensive about everything around him.
He will undergo further medical tests in the coming week to ensure he doesn’t suffer from any infectious diseases as he begins his journey to recovery.
The heart-wrenching images and the story of Pascal’s ordeal have led to widespread condemnation of the pranksters responsible for his suffering.
Pet ownership offers people companionship, emotional support, and a host of psychological benefits.
Many view their pets as family members and would never dream of abandoning them, but unfortunately, cases like Pascal’s highlight some of the darker aspects of human-animal relationships.
