WELFARE ISSUES APPEAL
1) Shearing, de-worming and foot treatment
2) Annual mucking out
The items mentioned in group 1 are all essential procedures and
must be carried out in order to maintain an acceptable standard
of ANIMAL WELFARE.
Item 2 is self explanatory. It is necessary, expensive and compulsory.
Special machines with skilled operators have to be hired for this
purpose, hence the cost. Failure to comply could lead to the closure
of the Sanctuary by DEFRA or other official bodies. Non compliance
could also cause severe health problems for the Animals, leading
to even more expensive vet bills.
The
estimated cost of all the above is approximately £15,000;
A sum that comes on top of all our regular and inescapable monthly
bills. All of which have increased as the cost of living escalates.
Because of the response to our 'Emergency Appeal' the monthly bills
have been met. 'Thank you'.
Never-the-less these payments have to be sustained in the future
as prices remain high, leaving little money for all the important
issues mentioned here. Therefore we do need to add to our funds
if we are to fulfil our responsibilities and honour our obligations.
We are truly grateful for all the help given and we are sorry to
have to make yet another appeal.
We hope that you will understand that our only motive for appealing
is that the Animals do need these services.
Please help if you can and as always we promise that the money
will be used for the purpose for which it has been donated. No personal
expenses, free travel or other perks. F.A.R.S. relies upon volunteers;
the money is strictly for the needs of the Animals.
All the above have added hugely to our already high costs. Please help if you can.
