SPANA staff treating working animals in Tunisia

Everyone thinks Tunisia is a warm, sunny place but this footage shows the freezing conditions in which our dedicated staff treat the working animals so important to the people in rural areas of the country.
50 seconds into the film you can see a close-up of a donkey's slid nostrils. This is still a common practice as people often believe that it improves the breathing ability of the animal.

I have been to Tunisia many times and the horses that are used to pull the carriages are extremely thin and over worked...ontop of that they are whipped while they work....i love Tunisia but i really have the abuse that animals get...even dogs have no hiding place. They are subjected to dog fighting rings..It needs to be stopped and laws put into place.

Thank you for all that ya'll are doing for these animals. It really makes all the difference to me to know that SPANA is out there. I had no idea.
