CONROE, TX — A Montgomery County man is in jail, charged with animal cruelty after what he did to a donkey.
The man is accused of tying the donkey to his truck then driving down the road, right past the intersection of FM 1485 and State Highway 242.
The donkey shows no signs of what eyewitnesses say was a disturbing sight. The animal was being lead by the driver of a pickup truck who had tied the donkey to the ball hitch.
“That’s pretty terrible,” witness Hazik Hassan said.
Hassan saw the donkey after the driver was stopped by Montgomery County law enforcement. The donkey had been on a trek of at least six miles.
“That was a long way for a horse, and it was an older horse, mule I mean. You could see its ribs and everything, that’s pretty sad man,” Hassan said.
Montgomery County authorities say 21-year-old Nasim Irsan is being charged with cruelty to animals. Deputies say the donkey had a single rope around his neck with the other end wrapped around the trailer hitch.
It reminds Kimberly Ray of My Feed Store and More of another case two and half years ago when a donkey named Suzie Q was dragged behind a truck sustaining severe injuries.
Nasim Irsan has been charged with animal cruelty for the incident.
“You’d figure that people would learn from someone else’s mistakes because that other gentleman ended up spending quite a bit of time in jail,” Ray said.
And while this donkey is in far better shape than Suzie Q, Ray says it’s no excuse for tying an animal behind a truck.
“They could get scared, get spooked, break a leg, get tangled up in the rope, get out in traffic. It’s not a good way to transport an animal. That’s just not a good way to do it,” Ray said.
The donkey is now with local animal control officers.
Irsan is being held in the Montgomery County Jail without bond.

I wonder if this clown was dragged behind a pickup in the same manner if he’d learn his lesson? I doubt it because humans are barbarians.. I think that the judge should make an example of him and anybody else that does things like this. Throw the book (literally) at him and allow him near any other animals for the rest of his life.

It would be one thing if the mule had gotten loose and was led VERY slowly a short distance. I’m not real cool with that but have seen it done safely. But a ribby animal shows there is a lack of care and concern in the first place. Top that off with 6 miles up the road??!! I’m with you, RT. All animal abuse is grievous but when I read a story that has happened in my backyard I really get my dander up.

“Do unto others” Nasim Irsan … sounds like you need to be tied to the back of a pickup with a rope around your neck and run 6 miles through the streets?

These kind of people even look deranged and out of it as so many abuser’s do. Horrible journey for this little donkey, but who knows, his destiny may have been worse. Sometimes the one’s saved really do end up in a much better place. At least there is some peace at knowing he is safe for now.

I have seen the results of animal being drag behind a truck. we lost the mare, had a vet out and there was no hope for this special girl, she had to be put down. she left behind a 2 month old filly. I have a hard time with this. by the way I brought the filly here and Mr Applejack was awesome babysitter for her. and she is now 5 this year! she is doing good.

It will be notable to see if this man is actually charged and convicted of a crime, or if the arrest is all for show till this blows over. Number one, because the man is of Middle Eastern descent he will possibly get more punishment. I’m not saying he doesnt deserve every bit he gets – and more – but they need to dole that out equally on everyone. Some people get off with a small fine, when they should do hard time.
