AKI-Partnerorganisation-Sauvons nos Animaux

Two horses surrounded by many people on the beach in Ghana where the Six Freedoms advocates and trains in humane professional horse care.

AKIs Partnerschaft mit Sauvons nos Animaux

Sauvons nos Animaux ist unsere neueste Partnerorganisation, die am 1. Januar 2022 hinzugefügt wurde! Nachdem wir 2020 und 2021 ein Stipendium der AKI Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization erhalten hatten, entschieden wir uns, SnA als Partner hinzuzufügen.

Es ist wirklich schwierig, Katzen und Hunde zu retten und ein Tierheim im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo zu betreiben: Die Region ist sehr arm, von Konflikten heimgesucht und Naturkatastrophen (Erdbeben, Überschwemmungen) sind an der Tagesordnung. Aber Paterne Bushunju, Gründer und Direktor von SnA (Foto rechts im Tierheim von SnA), ist fest entschlossen, dafür zu sorgen, dass „seine“ Katzen und Hunde die Pflege erhalten, die sie bekommen würden, wenn sie die Haustiere von jemandem wären. Und wir hoffen, ihm dabei helfen zu können.

For the owners and caretakers, the main sources of income are racing, beach rides, and religious festivals. All these events are known for horse abuse. Mostly, caretakers live a life without dignity, too, in wooden shacks or horse rooms, surviving "hand to mouth." The horse owners only see their horses for special events and shy away from the responsibilities that go along with being an animal owner.

The Six Freedoms rescues severely neglected horses who need special care. Due to limited means, and because taking care of a horse is very expensive, and the horses under The Six Freedom's care require significant time and attention, currently, the number of horses they can actually rescue is limited.

 

Since The Six Freedoms doesn't yet have their own property, they rely on Ranch Eva Lydeking in Akim Asafo and Kingdomstable in Aplaku, Weija, Accra where their rescued horses are brought to recover. Ulla, Eva, and the grooms at Eva's ranch coordinate closely on all Six Freedoms' rescued horses.

 

To expand their influence, The Six Freedoms works with other stables in Ghana with about 80 horses in total; the Accra race course; the Accra police stables; and key people in Ghana's horse community, such as well-known jockeys, trainers, and horse owners.

 

The Six Freedoms' work is becoming widely known and the horse community is now acknowledging this new way of working with horses and asking for advice, even offering more horses to The Six Freedoms to take care of. Each horse that The Six Freedoms rescues and recovers increases their visibility in the horse community, and more and more people are requesting their help. 

 

The Six Freedoms currently takes care of their 13 rescued horses. And through their collaboration with local and international experts on horse nutrition, care, horse behavior and training, The Six Freedoms is able to help many more horses. They readily share hands-on knowledge about horse welfare, throughout the horse community.

Animal Kind International supports rescue and protection efforts for horses in Ghana in Africa including promoting training in good care of teeth.

Caring for teeth (left), hooves (right), and coat, a good diet and exercise are all part of caring for a horse. The Six Freedoms works with local and international horse professionals to promote this training.

Die Bilder auf der rechten Seite zeigen die beiden Zuschüsse der in Afrika ansässigen Tierschutzorganisation, die SnA erhalten hat:

 

Im Jahr 2021 erhielt SnA ein AKI-Stipendium, um einen Tierarzt und einen Tierarztassistenten einzustellen, um alle Tiere im Tierheim zu kastrieren und zu kastrieren und andere notwendige tierärztliche Versorgung zu leisten.

 

Nach den ersten paar Monaten wurden die Operationen eingestellt, weil es im Tierheim eine „Hungersnot“ gab.

 

Die Spenden gingen zurück, die Preise stiegen, SnA hatte Probleme, das Geld aufzubringen, das sie brauchten, um Futter für die Hunde und Katzen zu kaufen.  AKI-Spender und andere kamen zu ihrer Rettung und sammelten Geld für Katzen- und Hundefutter, damit die Tiere im Tierheim wieder zu Kräften kommen und die Operationen fortgesetzt werden können.

 

Im Jahr 2020 baute SnA mit dem Zuschuss von AKI eine Quarantäneeinrichtung und einen Hundestall, um etwa 25 Hunde im Tierheim unterzubringen. 

The 6 Freedoms are: Freedom.....

From hunger and thirst

From discomfort

From pain, injury, and disease

To express normal behavior

From fear and stress

From being property
