Impact and Success Stories
Brooke Pakistan’s efforts have led to significant improvements in the welfare of working equines. One notable case is that of Mithu, a donkey employed in a brick kiln in Multan. Overloaded and overworked, Mithu collapsed from exhaustion. Brooke’s mobile team provided immediate care, treating dehydration and injuries. Through education, Mithu’s owner learned better practices, ensuring the donkey’s recovery and preventing future harm. Horse Journals
