Vaccinating against animal diseases reduces 💊 #antimicrobial 💊 use.

Reduced antimicrobial use = reduced spread of #AntiMicrobialResistance.

Over 4 yrs of operation cases of donkey theft and bush slaughter have been rampant. Donkey breeding is a slow and expensive process. Where do these abattoirs intend on sourcing their donkeys to ensure illegal slaughter doesn't occur? #SaveKenyanDonkeys @kenyanjudiciary @kilimoKE
