URGENT RESCUE APPEAL
10 pregnant donkey mares are in immediate danger – WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY:
Two newborn foals were recently found slaughtered for human consumption.
Their mothers were standing nearby, confused and crying.
We now have 10 pregnant mares from the same area who are at extreme risk of meeting the same fate.
We cannot let this happen — and we are their only chance.
Your donation today can save a mother and her unborn foal.
