Organisation partenaire AKI - Sauvons nos Animaux

Partenariat AKI avec Sauvons nos Animaux

Sauvons nos Animaux est notre toute nouvelle organisation partenaire, ajoutée depuis le 1er janvier 2022 ! Après avoir reçu une subvention AKI Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization en 2020 et une deuxième en 2021, nous avons décidé d'ajouter SnA en tant que partenaire.

Il est vraiment difficile de sauver des chats et des chiens et de gérer un refuge pour animaux dans l'est de la RDC : la région est très pauvre, elle est en proie à des conflits et les catastrophes naturelles (tremblements de terre, inondations) sont fréquentes. Mais Paterne Bushunju, fondateur et directeur de SnA (photo à droite au refuge SnA), est déterminé à s'assurer que "ses" chats et chiens reçoivent le niveau de soins qu'ils recevraient s'ils étaient les animaux de compagnie de quelqu'un. Et nous espérons l'aider à y parvenir.

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.

Les images à droite montrent les deux subventions d'organisations de protection des animaux basées en Afrique que SnA a reçues :

 

En 2021, la SnA a reçu une subvention AKI pour embaucher un vétérinaire et un assistant vétérinaire pour stériliser et stériliser tous les animaux de compagnie du refuge et pour fournir d'autres soins vétérinaires nécessaires.

 

Après le premier couple de mois, les opérations ont été arrêtées parce qu'il y avait une "famine" au refuge.

 

Les dons étaient en baisse, les prix en hausse, la SnA avait du mal à réunir l'argent dont elle avait besoin pour acheter de la nourriture pour nourrir les chiens et les chats.  Les donateurs d'AKI et d'autres sont venus à leur secours et ont collecté des fonds pour de la nourriture pour chats et chiens afin que les animaux du refuge puissent reprendre des forces et que les chirurgies puissent continuer.

 

En 2020, avec la subvention d'AKI, SnA a construit une installation de quarantaine et un enclos pour chiens pour héberger environ 25 chiens au refuge. 

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
