I closed my shop around 11:00 PM and came back at around 10:20 am . My cages were scattered. Inside the cage were my 3 chicks, 1 duck, and 2 rabbits upstairs. They killed my duck and left it on the sidewalk. They beheaded my rabbit, placing its head in front of my shop and its body along with the dead chicks at the beginning of the stairs. This is an act that is not fitting for humanity, ethics, religion, or any belief, regardless of denomination. Whoever did this, may Allah curse them with His wrath. I condemn this act vehemently. I demand that our government bring this incident to light and ensure that the culprits are brought to justice for the sake of these animals and my rights.”
