Older donkeys, worked too hard.
| Understanding their needs
Millions of poor people rely on animals to earn the money they need to support their families, but life can be hard for these faithful friends - and especially those who are worked too hard in old age. When older animals are overworked, they can suffer terribly from aching limbs and painful joints. Many owners don’t realise that their horses and donkeys need more consideration and care because of their age.
|
| Older animals can carry on working happily for their owners - but only if they receive the special care and rest they deserve. The kindness of Brooke supporters is helping us to address these issues with training for owners and veterinary treatment for animals.
Thanks to this direct training, many older horses and donkeys are healthier and happier – and can still help to support their owners and families. | | | 
|
 | | | Many misconceptions still arise from traditional beliefs; for example, some owners believe that donkeys become lazy if they are given water.
Thanks to our supporters’ generosity, numerous Donkey Care Clubs have been started in schools, teaching pupils about the rest and special care needed by older animals. The pupils can then pass these lessons on to their parents at home.
|
| Like people, older working animals deserve the very best treatment after years of hard unceasing work for their families. A donation to the Brooke can help to ensure that we reach more older animals, in some of the world's poorest communities.
We know that times are a little harder at present, and we are especially grateful for support and donations during a period when we all have a little less money to spare. | | |
