Did you know that the PETA-supported clinic is the only facility offering free emergency medical treatment to injured and abused donkeys, horses, and other animals in Petra, Jordan?
When Buzz arrived at the PETA-supported clinic in Petra, Jordan, he was in tremendous pain. His body was covered with wounds—including a hideously large burn on his shoulder where someone had shocked him with a stun gun.
Buzz must have been electroshocked over and over again. His muscles were damaged so severely that he was unable to stand, and his breathing and heartbeat were both dangerously erratic. He had been deprived of nutritious food for so long that he ate plastic to ease his hunger, but it wreaked havoc on his digestive system.
The staff at the Petra clinic immediately began treating this long-suffering donkey with painkillers and antibiotics. They administered IV fluids, repaired his prolapsed rectum, and cleaned and bandaged his wounds.
Buzz was rescued, but other animals are still suffering mightily in Petra. Many hundreds of donkeys, horses, and camels there are forced to work through hunger, exhaustion, and injuries. Many will die slowly and painfully without urgent medical care provided by the PETA-supported free clinic—the only facility of its kind in this vast region of barren rocks.
PETA and our compassionate supporters are the only ray of hope for these malnourished, grievously injured, and deathly ill donkeys, horses, and camels. With your support, the clinic will be able to take on many more patients like Buzz and the tiny donkey foal staff members discovered whose legs had been bound together with wire.
Since late last year, the clinic has treated more than 1,000 donkeys, dozens of horses, and even camels and dogs. These animals count on the PETA-supported clinic to alleviate their pain and suffering—and today, the clinic is counting on you.
On behalf of Buzz and all the other donkeys, horses, and additional animals who depend on the clinic in Petra, thank you for your compassion and support.
