Muli
Many years ago, the mules Lola, Maximilian, Moritz, Strolch, and Mimi arrived at the Sternenhof Ark. They were shy, distrustful, and their eyes told of an unknown past. The animal keepers were full of hope that they would be able to gain their trust and show them that humans can also be friends and companions. But no matter how hard they tried, the mules kept their distance. And that was okay. Because under the loving protection of the Herbert Denk Foundation, all the animals were allowed to simply be themselves—without pressure, without expectations. "We will probably never know what they once had to go through," recalls Mimi the mule's keeper quietly. And the team at Gut Aiderbichl shares the same sentiment: The animals don't have to offer us anything!
