Article 27/6/25
From Brooke, Action For Working Horses and Donkeys

“Donkeys rescued from slaughter, fostered by KSPCA and then rehabilitated and re-homed by Brooke East Africa.”
“We are celebrating a huge step forward for donkey welfare after African nations agreed to support a ban on the donkey skin trade.

“The declaration was adopted at the Pan Africa Donkey Conference in Cote D'Ivoire, where African leaders vowed to enforce the existing ban.”

Brooke is today celebrating after African nations voted to support a ban on the donkey skin trade.

“***Dying for a Drink Campaign continues & we NEED your help***

We have been putting out litres of water across the countryside for what seems like weeks now. Apart from a few little showers and one decent bit of rain, it seems as though we have now surpassed
12 weeks of dry weather.

Fledgling birds have been struggling, cubs have been struggling too - particularly badger cubs and hedgehogs who can't dig for worms as the ground is so hard and this dry warm weather is set to continue, so we need our help.

Please set up a water tray in your garden or, if you know of any area where you have wildlife, but all the water sources have dried up, you can set up a water location there:

* Shallow trays or dishes are good for hedgehogs 🦔
* If using a larger tray, please put a pile of stones in one corner, so a smaller mammal doesn't drown, also enables a bee to drink 🐝
* A small branch can be floated in a larger tray.
* Try & place your tray in shade

Please try and get your children involved and if they set up a tray - please take a pic and send it in 🙂 We love the little people to be involved in helping our wildlife.
