A herd of 13 donkeys and mares that were saved from severe abuse arrived at our protected shelter. They were treated with devotion and with plenty of love and were rehabilitated and waited for a warm home; now they arrived at a real Garden of Eden.
On Kibbutz Geva they heard about the plight of the horses and donkeys that we rescued from the hands of abusers. They decided to welcome a herd of donkeys to their organic fish farm, where they would help to trim down the weeds growing around the fish pools. Hundreds of acres of green natural pasture are the wealth that is available to the first herd that was sent by the SPCA. A life of total freedom, permanent tranquility exactly as in nature, this is the new life that the herd of donkeys gained.
When the donkeys got down out of the animal transport they understood immediately that they found here their tranquility and began to munch on the greenery, to gallop through the fields and to sense their freedom to its fullest. Before they were released into nature they were immunized, the males were castrated and all of them were marked with chips.
The kibbutz is willing to accept a few more donkeys that are situated at the moment in the stables of the SPCA and are waiting to be given their freedom only after they have recovered from their wounds and have been fully rehabilitated.
We thank the members of Kibbutz Geva for adopting the herd of donkeys onto their land and we hope that the fields of additional kibbutz settlements will be used as a shelter and a protection for the wonderful creatures that we rescue from the hardships of life.
