Lest we forget the animal victims of the wars. There is hardly a conflict that goes by without animals in one way or another being used to help those fighting. So many have lost their lives. Their suffering like the soldiers they serve should never be forgotten.
During the first world war over 8 million horses and countless mules and donkeys died. Horses and Donkeys were used for transportation pulling carts of ammunition and supplies to the front line, or in cavalry charges or used as messengers or guards. They helped lay telegraph lines, detect mines, search for buried survivors after heavy bombing. Despite horrific wounds many of these animals continued their work with amazing dedication, courage and loyalty to their their handlers. Thousands also died during the conflicts of world war two. Not a single animal volunteered to go they were all just taken from us.
Remember our horses
They had to endure heavy shelling and bombs exploding, machine gun fire, as well as poor conditions, hunger, thirst, exhaustion also disease and exposure to gas and other chemicals. They were used in all weather from freezing temperatures in the arctic to blazing heat of the desert. We will never forget those animals who suffered for our freedom, as well as the soldiers who served with them. Lets love and cherish our animals and keep them safe from harm.
