      If you ever want to travel there is a donkey rescue on Crete, in Greece. Run by a Greek man and his New Zealand wife.
      They take in donkeys worked until they are broken, send farriers and vets out to overworked and neglected donkeys. In many ways, many of the country Greek people are dark age. No empathy. But the younger people are slowly improving. But if anyone does go to Crete on holiday, do visit. Bring them a bucket of apples, a bale of lucerne hay, a bag of horse nuts.

    It’s sad when a mare rejects her foal (especially with a cry like that. Seriously, I’m not even his species and I wanted to immediately take care of him) but it’s always a relief when a mum can be introduced and teach them the ins and outs of being what they are.

      Harvey PlantHavester 😢 It’s heartbreakingly true, although there is a small glimmer of hope being trialled up north and is producing fantastic results not just for Mother and Baby…
      They stagger the pregnancies, when Mum has her Baby she is allowed to keep Him/Her allowing her to rest whilst baby has the vital colostrum….
      She can then make a choice whether she goes to the milk parlour or declined…… Yes all the cows come and go from this high tech milking which detects which cow has come in, cleans the udder first, takes the milk then records everything… It is absolutely amazing to watch and will even detect a new Mum and goes through the motion, but not take her milk… The farmer was reluctant and sceptical but his daughter pushed him to have it… Not only has there been a significant change in the whole herd but it’s producing more milk… Everything that happens, happens when the cow decides it will happen.. The female calf’s will join the herd and the males are sold, but only when they come of age, although they are now considering keeping good quality males who can eventually start to make more babies….. This has to be the way forward with Animal Welfare coming before profit….. Maybe we will get it right, God Willing🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
