in poland that's at risk of becoming a disaster zone the centaurs foundation in the country's west is a safe haven for rescued animals over the years they say they have saved nearly 1200 horses from the slaughterhouse well the foundation is dependent on donations but due to the coronavirus the money has stopped coming and it's a heartbreaking reality for veronica neighbor rock who works at the foundation she hopes the horses can be saved from a cruel face. these animals have finally found a safe haven here at the largest horse century in europe. more than $500.00 horses belong to the centaurus foundation is just. and something. some of the disposed we have nearly $400.00 hectares of land available plus an area

for the winter this allows the animals to live semi wild most of the time as place to nature is possible. these animals are lucky some were spared from this water helps others were given up by their owners many could only be rescued from danger with the help of donation. there's a book on it was a book called each radio has a tragic story she was traumatized when the horse dealer received her she was difficult to transport and someone had probably tried to calm her down by hitting her on the head with a bottle. sonny also has a traumatic past a lot of his skin was burned in a fire. and now he's being cared for here. the son has been serviced this is a special antibiotic cream. store your what you have to keep applying it it protects his sensitive skin. this well that's right here.

animal care and protection costs a lot of money which is raised through donations both large and small and through support from companies. there are other animals beside horses that have found refuge here including donkeys sheet cats. and even to llamas. the snow hangs in the balance because of the crew and a virus. was put on them when the pandemic broke out and all these companies were going bankrupt we started getting more and more e-mails and phone calls hundreds of companies were saying they could no longer support us that really had us hard there with our. volunteers from the surrounding area you know helping to advertise so the urgently needed money from once again to be released for the centaurus foundation without donations the foundation could be forced to clues and many of the animals

could be put down another way to help the animals by adoption. this can be done even with the smallest of donations about 200 healthy animals have been adopted some even by people in neighboring germany your doctrines are closely monitored by the foundation. contact with the sponsor so much you could remember them occurring about upset when we give a horse to a sponsor when hunting every other living animal into their care. of. these animals should never suffer colmar all bad experiences ever again. they should only ever experience fun and joy with humans should have on our trip to a vehicle. but this option has been made more difficult by the coronavirus pandemic many potential sponsors called out because of their current financial situation now the horse ranch relaxed money.

to give them a show you can't just say to the animals you know there's a coronavirus pandemic and that's why we can't give you any medicine today and it's no food either so we created a refuge here for animals who have had very sad lives or have been exploited but one of the things was. the employees hope that we'll soon be able to get sufficient financial support again so the animals in europe's largest horse century can look forward to a sea and peaceful future. in our russia series we've been introducing you to people in some of the country's
