"However, it's sadly a very different story for working animals overseas, which undertake gruelling work every single day and never get to enjoy holidays or retirement." "Unfortunately, this kind of respite isn't an option for working animals and their owners in developing countries. "These working horses, donkeys, camels, elephants and other animals work tirelessly throughout the year, carrying backbreaking loads in harsh environments and extreme temperatures. "These animals urgently need our help - and that is where SPANA comes in. "The charity improves the welfare of working animals worldwide, providing vital veterinary care for sick and injured animals, as well as training and education for owners in how to better look after their animals - including ensuring they have adequate rest."
