Sascha | Donkey

A donkey friend discovered four male donkeys, including Sascha, at a dealer. When asked who their previous owners were, he just shrugged his shoulders and wondered: "Why does anyone care?" And actually, as a man in this industry, he was right. He was only interested in the weight of the donkeys, because their value is…

Santino | Donkey

Santino is a very playful donkey who has nothing but mischief on his mind. He is always asking the other donkeys to play with him and is always up for any kind of "mischief". It is thanks to a family who found him at a livestock dealer in Styria that this exceptionally beautiful donkey can…

Franca | Donkey

In February 2024, we learned about donkeys in need that were being kept in Italy under the most appalling conditions. 59 neglected animals were about to be slaughtered. An Italian animal welfare organization had managed to buy the donkeys at auction, give them the best possible care and find new homes for most of them.…

Henriette | Donkey

An animal lover became aware of the donkey mares Henriette and Wally via a Facebook post. They were told to leave their home as soon as possible after they had weaned their foals. If necessary, they would be handed over to a slaughterhouse. The animal lover didn't want that to happen, because the tame animals…

Kronprinz Rudolf | Donkey

Because all animals are treated equally well at Gut Aiderbichl, pedigrees are unimportant. We do not attach any importance to breeding or breed, because we love all animals just as they are. But we have to make an exception for Crown Prince Rudolf. He is a representative of a donkey species that is on the…

Gerrit | Donkey

When a very animal-loving young woman discovered a total of 7 donkeys on the internet, she couldn't look away. She was too moved by the fate of Martin, Gerrit, Robin, Gregor, Karel, Jessy and Nadja, who had simply been discarded and were about to be slaughtered. Because she desperately wanted to save the innocent gray…

Tobi | Donkey

In July 2018, the world came crashing down for an animal lover from Lower Austria. She had fulfilled a lifelong dream with her partner and son - a life in agriculture. The three of them were aware of the responsibility they had taken on and that this way of life involved sacrifices. They found partners…

Dali | Donkey

The fact that Dali and Sevi, as well as other animals, are still alive today is thanks to the active help of our sponsors. An Aiderbichler employee discovered animals in a dealer's stable. It was extremely dark, filthy and the animals were tied up with a string. When he looked into the stable, sad eyes…
