💔 THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE 💔💔💔💔 Yesterday, our MLHR Cork team was called to Banduff, Cork, after a report of a poor foal with a severely broken leg.💔💔💔💔💔 What we found was heartbreaking. This poor baby had been chased, along with other horses, for nights by people on quads, apparently for their own amusement. 😡😡😡😡 The result was a terrified, injured foal left suffering with a devastating injury. By the time we arrived, there was nothing we could do to save him.💔 We had to call a vet, and then arrange for his body to be taken away.💔 But when we entered the field with the An Garda Síochána, we discovered three more horses in an appalling condition. They were severely emaciated and desperately weak.💔💔💔 We stayed until around midnight, working alongside the Gardaí and our vet to get a mare, her foal and another mare to safety. Our vet treated them, but they are still not out of danger.💔 One of the hardest things to witness was a mother struggling to care for her baby while she herself was starving.💔💔💔 💔 This is suffering that should never have been allowed to happen. We are incredibly grateful to the Mayfield Gardaí for their help, support and compassion. But this cannot simply end with rescuing the survivors.💔 That little foal suffered. The other horses were suffering right in front of people.💔💔😡😡 And our team is left carrying the heartbreak of knowing that one innocent life could not be saved.💔💔 We now face the veterinary bills, the cost of removing the body, and the ongoing costs of caring for the three horses we managed to save, costs that fall on a rescue organisation because someone else chose to be cruel or failed to provide proper care, just not giving a damn 😡😡😡😡 How many more horses have to suffer before something changes? What is happening in Banduff? What is happening across this country? Animal cruelty and neglect cannot become something we simply accept as normal. We are asking for your support, but we are also asking you to speak up. Contact the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Contact your Minister. Contact your TDs. Ask what is being done. Ask for stronger action. Ask for accountability. Because these animals have no voice. We have to be their voice. We could not save that precious little foal. But we saved three others. And now we want justice for the one we lost, protection for the three fighting to survive, and change for every animal still suffering in silence.
