Your generous support has helped rescue six abandoned equines in Nepal!

Your generous support has helped rescue six abandoned equines in Nepal! Recently Animal Nepal senior vets Dr Atish and Dr Sajana made a welfare visit to one of the many brick kilns in Bhaktapur following reports of a group of abandoned animals. These sites are harsh and abandoned equines have little chance of surviving for long.

The working equines they found consisted of three female donkeys, one hinny (offspring of a female donkey and a male horse) and two horses. It was reported to Animal Nepal that the owner had left the animals behind following the end of this year's brick kiln season. 

Animal Nepal staff quickly managed to get the following information on the stranded animals:

Haluman is a female Hinny. She is about five years old and unfortunately, she has a birth defect within her nose which makes it difficult for her to breathe properly. Despite this, she was used to carry heavy loads.

Randeep is a male and somehow has continued in the kiln site with a front leg fracture and other wounds on his body. Along with these painful issues, poor Randeep is also severely emaciated.

Mini horse Apache is a female and about three years old. She is a small girl and, sadly, limping on her front leg. The other equine owners said that the owner got her for free from the equine fair in India after buying other larger horses and mules.

Moni and Soni are mother and daughter donkeys. They are about four and two years old and both of them bear painful saddle wounds on their bodies.

Lastly Raamri is a very young female donkey, possibly only one and a half years old. This brutal environment... no place for such a young foal.

Animal Nepal staff have started the process of moving these suffering animals into quarantine where they will undergo health checks, vaccinations and some long overdue TLC from the wonderful staff at Animal Nepal. After that phase of their rescue, they will join other donkeys in the paddocks of the sanctuary where, at last, they can live out their lives with food, shelter and be free of being over-worked and injured.

Please, help AAA sponsor these rescued animals and enable us to provide them with the care and treatment they need.
