Episode Details

Donkeys are being slaughtered for their skins across South Africa despite a 15-year African Union ban — and the Karoo Donkey Sanctuary, fighting this crisis, is running out of cash. With up to 10,500 donkeys legally killed each year under a loophole, the sanctuary has documented horrific abuse, including pregnant mares and foals in slaughter pens — yet government action remains nonexistent. Founder Jonno Sherwin reveals their entire operation — rescues, investigations, lobbying — is funded by their dwindling resources, and they’re urgently asking the public to donate so they can keep saving lives, pushing for stronger laws, and exposing cruelty before it’s too late.
