Ethical View On Animal Welfare
Safe Haven for Donkeys believes all animals are sentient beings that deserve special consideration and respect. Humans have a positive responsibility for the care and welfare of animals that are dependent on them.
Working Animals
Where animals are used for the provision of power or to perform tasks of work for humans SHADH believes that:
- These activities should be limited and carefully supervised so as to ensure animals remain in good health and welfare
- The animals should be provided with sufficient quantities of nutritional food and water
- The animals should be adequately rested and sheltered when they are not performing such tasks
- The animals should be provided with adequate veterinary attention in case of injuries and sickness
Any advice given on this website regarding donkey health care is not a substitute for advice from your own veterinary surgeon – if you have concerns, please ensure your vet visits your donkey.
