Freedom From Hunger and Thirst -
Current Situation
The donkeys in the brick kilns will often go a few hours or even a day without food and drinks they're left to be starved during working hours and within that the donkeys still have to go out to work daily and usually when they do get fed its not enough for them, the owners only care more about themselves and their own health than the donkeys health and diet, the donkeys don't have a great diet plan they only get given food in small portions when they do get fed and only a little of water this isn't great for the animal this is also bad welfare.
Suggested Improvements
They should be providing the right amount of water and the right amount of food to keep them healthy and fit.
They could also provide water canisters during stop breaks this will be a big improvement and also
the donkeys should be provided more portioned food because they need a good balanced diet for their health
and they will also feel much happier.
Freedom from discomfort-
Current situation
The donkeys are staying in uncomfortable and bad environments which can also be damp on the floors if is been raining this is bad welfare for the donkey and sometimes some places they stay in are different temperatures and can be to hot and can cause them to be restless also they do not have much rest or sleep when they finish working because they hardly get given any rest as the owners of these donkeys do not care and put themselves first before the animals and lastly while working they don't wear appropriate equipment like blankets which are uncomfortable for the donkey.
Suggested Improvements
The donkeys should have an appropriate area of shelter to sleep in and it must be a suitable sized for them to sleep in and not cramped spaces and must have the right type of environment that includes shelter and somewhere to rest, also good temperature not to hot for them and must not be to cold because they may become restless either way and could be recommended by giving them a lot of comfort like comfier flooring and blankets to sleep on during the nights, this will improve allot for the donkey and they feel much better and be happy.
Freedom from pain, injury and disease-
Current Situation
Because the donkeys are working daily this can cause them to be in very bad pain with their legs and hips and causes them to have injury maybe broken and they cannot hardly be helped for any treatment the closest the donkey can be treated for a broken ankle or muscle pains in their legs would be cream suitable for the animals and also the Brooke ambassadors are currently trying to improve treatments and they're getting more emergency vets out to India and also in other country's that have brick kilns and if the owners do not get medical attention sometimes the owners only care about themselves and the work and the donkeys will still have to carry on working while they have an injury, finally the donkeys can get bad diseases when not vaccinated which can cause problems and is likely more chance of them becoming more ill and close to getting diseases like foot rott this is a disease where it effects there feet while they're walking for hours or if they don't wear hooves it can cause them get damaged feet and bad disease.
Suggested Improvements
The donkeys should be regularly checked up by there owners or the owners should get in a vet for injuries and let the donkeys rest and leave their wombs to fully heal before fully working again, donkeys should also be
fully vaccinated because this will improve their health and also they're less likely at getting diseases
that are out there and if in any pain for any reason they should also be checked up on and seek
for medical attention if the pain becomes worse and the vets will see to the injury and the donkey will feel
much happier with this improvement and also the donkey wont be distressed from been in so much pain and with
the donkeys been vaccinated regularly too this protects them from any diseases like rabies which their are
no treatments for if the animal does get and finally which would improve a lot the donkey should wear a much
comfier blanket too to wear over themselves it should be much thicker this will improve the donkey from been
in pain and less injury they.
Freedom to express normal behaviour-
Current Situation
The donkeys do not express their natural behaviour they do not have the proper space suitable for the donkeys and also no proper facilities for them to use also the donkeys are not interacting with each other able to do normal things a donkey would do, a working donkey is constantly carrying bricks pushing themselves to the limit everyday and they're feared to express the normal behaviour, they're unhappy and stressed and scared animals and not able to be themselves feeling forced into these jobs their owners do not care how these donkeys feel and live in these circumstances.
Suggested Improvements
They should improve this by giving the donkeys proper space area for them to move around and giving the donkeys more free time and more breaks to socialize with others and letting the donkeys express their behaviour also the people should provide sufficient facilities space appropriate given to them like shelters and a company of the animal’s own kind to be with this will make the donkeys feel much happier and calm this will improve a lot.
Freedom from fear and distress-
Current Situation
They have been treated very badly for days to months the donkeys will be feared to express their selves and become very distressed and unhappy in what they're doing they're made to work in the brick kilns to carry bricks overly daily and this will stressed the donkey a lot and put them in so much fear towards the people and very unsettled, they can also suffer mentally as well as they do physically when the people are pressuring the donkeys in to working and they become very stressed from been treat badly.
Suggested Improvement
The people should treat the donkeys in more fair way with respect towards the donkeys without using any abuse towards them, giving them more space so they don't feel distressed and better facilities areas too and letting the donkey socialize and express their natural behaviour with more time this will make them feel much happier and less feared and they should improve this by ensuring better conditions and good treatments which avoids mental suffering.
