On New Year’s Day, volunteer Korin Farrugia brought attention to the heartbreaking circumstances at a horse rescue shelter, shedding light on the somber reality of animal abuse. The dire situation unfolded as a horse, already in a state of severe malnutrition and thirst, collapsed on the ground. Despite dedicated efforts to save its life, the decision was made to let the suffering creature go.
The distressing details revealed the extent of the horse’s suffering—its body ravaged by starvation and dehydration. The attending veterinarian discovered stones, glass, and wood in the animal’s stomach, a testament to its desperate attempts to consume anything in a bid for survival.
In a poignant reflection, Farrugia expressed the difficulty in finding adequate words to describe the cruelty inflicted upon the horse. The emotional post conveyed a hope for eventual accountability for those responsible, despite the harsh reality that justice may remain elusive. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for awareness, compassion, and stringent measures to protect vulnerable animals from such heart-wrenching neglect and abuse.
“Thank you the the special people and vet who on New Year’s Day didn’t spend the day as planned with family but here fighting to try and save his life. I will never be able to thank you enough”, Farrugia wrote.
