I shall try to follow the example set by a Kenyan woman when introducing her presentation on donkey welfare, this should be short enough to hold your attention and long enough to cover the essentials!
I associate bush fires with places like Australia and they conjure images of kangaroos running from the flames.
Our work brings us into some of the remotes parts of Ireland and when the RTE news carries a headline “Firefighters make major progress over gorse fire” its implications for donkeys was not immediately obvious.
The fire was on a hillside commonage in Co Sligo and very extensive with approximately 4,000 acres affected by the fire.
