Yes,
Corfu and the donkeys need CDR. In seven years we have taken in
over 400 old, injured and sick donkeys.
These
are found abandoned, donated by their owners or left with us by
gypsies and dealers. Many are in such a desperate condition that
we cannot save them and so they are put to sleep, some are offered
weeks or months of tender loving care and medication and then put
to sleep when they let us know they are 'ready to go'.
Fortunately
we are able to help many regain their strength and health so they
can live many happy years at the shelter or be rehomed abroad in
countries that can offer them expert veterinary, farriery and dental
help according to their needs.
Some
sadly however, we do not hear about until it is too late to help
and these die abandoned, alone and in pain. Examples of what happens
to the unwanted donkeys are shown on the next page.
Be aware these pictures are unpleasant but unfortunately very real
