Over 50 per cent of the world’s population is dependent on a working animal for their livelihoods. Working animals such as donkeys, horses and camels plough fields, carry goods to and from local markets and transport people and essential items like food and water.
Due to the high costs of fuel, maintenance and lack of infrastructure, it simply isn’t possible to provide an alternative to relying on animals. Animals can work free from pain and suffering and SPANA works to ensure animal owners understand how to care for their animals. We also educate children on how to show kindness and compassion to animals. Our training and teaching work, coupled with our provision of free veterinary treatment, ensures we are creating a better future for working animals.
