@PickleBertie We understand your disappointment. The animals themselves don’t choose platforms, but the people who care for them do. X’s recent environment no longer reflects the values and ethics of the communities we serve such as...
@LABoyle2 Since the platform’s tone and reach have shifted under its new leadership, it’s also become much harder to gain the reach we used to and also connect with those audiences. Inclusivity isn’t a culture war stance; it’s essential to our mission.
@LABoyle2 Thank you for your feedback. Animal welfare truly transcends politics, but our work depends on engaging with the diverse, often marginalised communities we serve - many of whom are staff, partners or local carers of working equines...

#DonkeysBetterAlive#BanDonkeySkinTradeinAfrica
Today is World Donkey Day. I appreciate the people who have sacrificed everything to ensure our Donkeys are safe and protected. I am a product of Donkey Sweat. We will streamline the Veterinary Practice to ensure that only licensed practitioners issue the Animal Movement Permit.
Countdown Alert!
Only HOURS TO GO until National Donkey Day!
These incredible animals deserve more than just a day — they deserve our respect, care, and protection every day.
Let’s raise our voices to keep them safe and celebrated!

"Donkeys carry loads for us; let’s carry their welfare"
In Tanzania, donkeys walk for miles under the scorching sun, transporting goods, and even working in mining to help the community combat poverty. They are silent workers, burdened yet never complaining.
Let us protect them
This #VEDay marks 80 years since the end of WWII & also falls on #WorldDonkeyDay. Donkeys played a quiet but powerful role during the World Wars, especially in areas unreachable by modern transport. Today, over 50 million donkeys support people around the world 🫏
