In countries such as India, Pakistan and Egypt millions of horses and mules work in unbearable conditions until they drop dead. The owners of these animals are the poorest of the poor. Lack of money, ignorance and century old medicinal traditions are the foundation of the suffering of these animals.
Malnutrition, dehydration and hyperthermia are the most common conditions.
Brooke Hospital for Animals (founded by Mrs Dorothy Brooke in 1934) engages itself to improve structurally the living conditions of these Third World work horses and mules by using own its veterinary clinics, mobile teams, as well as domestic vets.
The Brooke Hospital veterinarians and caretakers are natives from those countries. Yearly 500,000 horses and mules are treated there for free. Brooke Hospital for Animals is able to operate via donations from Great Britain and The Netherlands. The Foundation Brooke Hospital for Animals was established in The Netherlands in 1994.
The Brooke board of directors has heard a short fragment of the single. Their reaction was very promising: "We are all moved by Charlotte's beautiful fragile voice. Wonderful!"
