Rescue

International animal welfare charity The Donkey Sanctuary is appealing for donations to help fund the care of rescued donkeys in Northern Ireland after increasing numbers are being abandoned on the country’s roads.

In the same week that Lanarkshire woman Kathryn Brady was prosecuted for the neglect of donkeys, The Donkey Sanctuary has rescued nine donkeys from a Douglas Bridge man found to be already serving a 10 year ban from keeping animals. The donkeys found at the property near Castlederg in Northern Ireland are severely underweight and suffering with painfully overgrown hooves.

International animal welfare charity The Donkey Sanctuary is disappointed to learn of the light sentence received by a Lanarkshire woman who admitted the neglect of 19 animals including donkeys and ponies.

Four donkeys in desperate need of care were rescued by international animal welfare charity The Donkey Sanctuary yesterday, after being found abandoned on a road in Armagh, Northern Ireland.

This weekend ten donkeys and 16 horses were rescued from appalling conditions in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, by international animal welfare charity The Donkey Sanctuary.

International animal welfare charity The Donkey Sanctuary is pleased by the successful prosecution of Graham Gott from Slaidburn, Lancashire, at Hyndburn Magistrates Court on 2 November 2011, for causing neglect and suffering to a large group of animals including nine donkeys.
