An animal lover experienced what many animal lovers are afraid of when they have to give up their animals. Due to financial misfortune, the woman was forced to give up her two ponies - mom Brenda and daughter Josie - and was given the opportunity to place them at a sanctuary. A comprehensive protection contract was signed, but these are usually only as good as the partners want to stick to them. For months, the animal lover was left in the dark about the ponies' state of health. She only found out about the drama with the help of a lawyer. Pony mare Brenda had been slaughtered and fed to predators - contrary to all contractual agreements. The animal lover immediately pulled out all the stops to save Josie's life - she is doing well at the Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch and, above all, she is now in absolute safety.
