In a recent release of Pakistan’s economic survey by Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, surprising statistics have surfaced concerning the nation’s donkey population.
The survey, presented before the forthcoming National Assembly session where the federal budget will be examined, demonstrates a significant surge in the number of these robust animals.
As per the survey, Pakistan’s donkey population has risen to 5.9 million, marking a notable increase from the previous financial year’s count of 5.8 million.
This upward trajectory in donkey numbers has persisted over the past two years, with an additional 0.2 million donkeys reported within this period.
Additionally, the survey noted that the count of horses has remained static at 0.4 million over the last year, with no growth observed in the camel population.
Furthermore, the survey disclosed a substantial increase in the number of goats and sheep nationwide. During the year, the goat population surged by an impressive 22.2 million, while the count of sheep witnessed a commendable uptick of 4 million.
