Two mules were seized as well. In this case, the accompanying photos do not show healthy or even questionable weight but pretty clear malnourishment. Of course, we are only seeing a few of the 13 animals, most likely the worst examples, as showing animals in good winter weight doesn’t help the media or the [...]
