Brooke's Animal Hospital



I love animals and have always loved to ride on a horse. I have seen so many suffering at the hand of humans because those humans don't know any better or are to poor to provide the necessary care. Many of those people depend on their animals and when that animal get sick or injured and with no money they can only watch as their animal die a slow and painful death. I wanted to do something and through a TV show I saw years ago I found an organization that is trying to fight this injustice in the world

The Brooke hospital for Animals relieves the suffering of horses, donkeys and mules working for poor people in the developing world. Their dedicated local vets and their teams provide free care, education and training in the heart of the communities they serve in Egypt, India, Jordan and Pakistan.

Their aim is to reach millions of working horses and donkeys suffering pain and distress wherever the need is greatest with their proven, sustainable solutions. They will achieve this by forging partnerships and sharing these solutions with local organizations, helping poor communities around the world that are dependent upon working equine animals.

This year the Dutch department of Brooke Hospital will celebrate it's birthday. 12,5 year have they been active with promoting their cause. To celebrate their birthday the TROS (a Dutch TV Channel) will host an afternoon show with old and new footage of Brooke. Including their latest work in Pakistan after the earthquake.
