A camel in Sindh’s Sanghar district, who lost her front leg in a brutal act of animal cruelty last year, has taken her first steps again—this time with the help of a prosthetic limb.
Now known as Cammie or Kemi, the young camel was attacked in June 2024 after straying into a farmland in the Mundh Jamrao area in search of food.
The landowner, reportedly angered by the animal grazing in his field, allegedly used a sharp tool to sever her leg. The incident was captured on video and sparked nationwide outrage when circulated on social media.
At just eight months old, Cammie was left in agony and distress. Following public pressure, authorities filed a criminal case and arrested several suspects. However, the case weakened when the camel’s owner later withdrew cooperation, reportedly due to outside pressure.

Cammie was rescued by the CDRS Benji Project, an animal welfare organisation in Karachi, which provided her with year-long medical care and emotional support.
On Tuesday, the shelter released a touching video showing Cammie walking again with a prosthetic leg custom-made by Bionic Pets, a U.S.-based firm specialising in artificial limbs for animals.
The shelter called the moment “a miracle,” crediting the efforts of its staff and supporters, including the Sindh government and PPP leader Shazia Marri. Though Cammie still faces challenges, her first steps are being seen as a symbol of resilience and hope.
