Elnet Foundation and Brooke Hospital for Animals in Ethiopia signed an MoU on their joint cooperation commitment to enhance Equine Veterinary care in Addis Ababa through a High Quality Mobile Veterinary Service Clinic, Community Animal Welfare Advocacy and Equine Euthanasia.
This specific MoU focuses on areas of cooperation between Elnet Foundation and Brooke to collaborate with each other to end the suffering of horses, donkeys and mules abandoned or otherwise in need of sanctuary care or treatment services at the hands of their owners. Elnet Foundation has a plan to establish one mobile veterinary clinic for prevention and treatment work, as well as humane euthanasia of severely ill equines. This will be a pilot initiative for Elnet Foundation. Elnet Foundation does not implement programmes of its own but is through this Memorandum of Understanding working with Brooke to explore the possibilities of implementing this project together. Brooke has vast experience and experts required to execute such an initiative. Currently, Brooke is running several animal welfare initiatives, including the construction of animal clinics in several locations across Ethiopia, as well as community sensitization and training programmes and a euthanasia program in Addis Ababa for abandoned and severely ill equines.
Animals are part of our lives, whether they live in the nature or at farms, in the city or in our homes. Their wellbeing affects us in various ways; through their labour contribution among the working equines; through their contribution as farm animals, through their companionship as pets, and even as tourism attractions as wildlife. When animals are suffering, our ecosystem suffers. The large number of abandoned equines, both horses, donkeys and mules alike, face the likelihood of spending their final years abandoned on the road side, having to fend for their own survival by eating scraps, finding grass and water on their own and having no one to care for them when they get sick or injured.
