3rd October, 2011 R.I.P Sweet soul

It's hard not to be affected by every animal that is killed on the Forest. Today this lovely donkey was laid by the side of the road in Fritham with an 'Agister Aware' sticker tied around her little neck with a piece of string. She was so beautiful. The donkeys are especially vulnerable to being run over as people insist on feeding them at the side of the road or even from their cars. It's a good way of encouraging them to stand in the middle of the road. In this weird weather with early morning and evening mist, it's hard to spot them in the gloom. She was pregnant.
