Hello everyone!
After an epic move and the installation of all the sanctuary’s refugees on this new "territory in struggle," we are resuming site development work to optimize all available space and soon welcome new oppressed people.
Indeed, due to insufficient financial means we were only able, at first, to develop part of the land. It is a shame because an abandoned pond is located there and could become a place of life and enjoyment for all the sanctuary’s residents who love the water, particularly the ducks, geese and pigs.
It should be added that this pond was, before our arrival, a "good spot" for local hunters who, cowardly posted in their blinds, shot the free animalized people who came there to drink. Our arrival made it possible to ban the hunters from the area and, thanks to an ingenious fence equipped with gates, we plan to allow the forest’s inhabitants to continue coming to find water while transforming it into a zone accessible to the sanctuary’s people.
Left abandoned for thirty years, this pond is currently not usable nor safe enough for the sanctuary’s animalized people who still need our complicity to live peacefully on this territory. The silt that has accumulated on the bottom is blocking the water inflow, and dead trees and leaves have piled up in its bed.
We obviously refuse to drain the pond because this would lead to the death of all the small inhabitants that live there; we simply want to "clean it out" so that it becomes more welcoming again, and this is the right period to do it because it is recommended to intervene in October and November.
Given its surface area, it is impossible to consider scraping this real quagmire with shovels; we need to rent an excavator to dredge it and then a vehicle to remove all the dead trees that have fallen into the water, which we cannot leave even at the side because they are obstacles to peaceful walking. Finally, we will need to clean all the surroundings where old barbed wire has been left in place and continues to injure the free animalized people who come to drink, then install the fence with a passage system.
As always, solidarity and "récup" are our best tools, but we have no choice but to raise funds for the rental of the machinery. Likewise, the fence and the gates represent a heavy budget to bear because we have estimated a cost of 2500 euros for the wire mesh and 2000 euros for the posts.
Thus these large-scale works require, in addition to hands and a lot of rage, a colossal financial investment for our association which has no funds and is currently facing financial precarity following the major works we had to undertake since our move. We therefore call on your solidarity in the hope that in a short time we will be able to welcome new survivors to the sanctuary.
