Bergwater Farm in South Africa’s dry Karoo is home to over 200 rescued donkeys, but its future is uncertain due to legal battles and money troubles. The Karoo Donkey Sanctuary moved here hoping for safety and a fresh start, but the farm’s ownership is contested, risking eviction and harm to the animals. Amid tense court fights and looming deadlines, the donkeys remain silent witnesses to a fight about care, compassion, and survival in a harsh land. The sanctuary’s story is a powerful reminder of the fragile hope that rescue efforts bring to vulnerable creatures.
