Madeira animal sanctuary forced to leave its property

Topicsanimal health and disease

The Madeira Sanctuary, an association that shelters rescued animals, has announced it is in its final days on the property it currently occupies. In a social media post, its founder said the organisation lacks the conditions to continue and is being forced to essentially give up the cause, despite people who had offered help. She described feeling let down after promises of support turned out to be false, and appealed for collaboration to keep the animals together. No details were given about where the sheltered animals will go next.
