Choice Carriers - Big Thumbs Up

8 years 5 months ago
#647015
One of our causes we support (my gal and I...but mainly my gal) is the Karoo Donkey Sanctuary. Recently (22nd December) they sent out an urgent appeal for help. The donkeys were to be shot 05h00 the following morning and the carcasses sent to crocodile farms. They were in the municipal pound. KDS did not have the transport or the funds to hire transport to save these previously abused donkeys, hence the appeal.

Choice Carriers generously came to the rescue, dispatching a horse transport carrier from Cape Town at 02h00 in the morning to ensure these donkeys were saved.

Bravo Peter Choice of Choice Carriers. Your empathy and support is hugely appreciated Sir

One can read more on the URL below, and of course anyone wnting to support an amazing bunch of people... please do (that is not the purpose of this story... the story was just to acknowledge Choice Carriers)

Seemingly there are a Chinese group slaughtering any donkey they can get their hands on, and sending the skins/pelts home to China so the condition of the Dokeys doesn't matter.

Did they air the bit with the Auctioneer saying there was a "Met runner up" on the auction ?

It was actually a chirp from the auctioneer but we heard CB were going to air for effect!
