The problem with foals: It's like playing the lottery for the breeders. If they are insanely lucky, a foal can bring a lot of money. The breeders hope for this and accept that the vast majority of foals have to die. Because hardly anyone is interested in foals that are not considered perfect representatives of their breed. Selfishness, vanity and ruthlessness could not be clearer. And we, society, remain silent about the annual suffering. In the fall, the foals are separated from their mothers. Some are only three months old. Then they become foal carpaccio, dog food or are added to salami. But Didier just managed to escape this fate. An Aiderbichler woman became aware of him and asked us to take him in. Thanks to her commitment, his life was saved.
