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 measured in kilos. Nobody was bothered by the severe signs of neglect, such as hooves that were far too long or parasite infestation. After a stay at the veterinary clinic, Sascha, together with Falco, Dominik and Pascal, was able to move into Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf.
