Thirsty and Sometimes Sick, Donkeys and Camels in Petra Must Work Every Day
In the heart of Petra, Jordan, gentle donkeys and camels toil under the scorching sun, hauling tourists up 900 ancient stone steps to the iconic monastery. Despite being sick, exhausted, and thirsty, these animals are forced to work tirelessly. However, there is hope on the horizon for these exploited creatures, thanks to the Petra Veterinary Clinic and PETA’s Global Compassion Fund.
Thanks to PETA’s Global Compassion Fund, hundreds of suffering animals receive essential veterinary care each week at the Petra Veterinary Clinic. From colic to lameness, these animals are treated for various ailments that could otherwise lead to their untimely deaths. The clinic provides this life-saving care at no cost to the owners, ensuring that these animals receive the help they desperately need.
The free veterinary care offered by the Petra Veterinary Clinic is often the only source of relief for these animals, providing them with a chance at a better and healthier life.
The Petra Veterinary Staff Is Encouraging a Kinder Future
In addition to providing crucial medical care, the staff at the Petra Veterinary Clinic is also dedicated to promoting animal welfare in the region. Through educational workshops in local schools, the clinic’s team members are spreading awareness about the importance of empathy for animals. Visiting schools in villages like Umm Sayhoun and Beidha, the staff engages with students, teaching them about the essential freedoms that all animals deserve.
During these workshops, students eagerly participate in activities like coloring books and educational materials, showing a genuine interest in learning about animal rights. Teachers and principals have also been moved by the workshop’s message, with one teacher even offering incentives for students to memorize the content of the booklet.
