If you haven't got time to read the full article, a synopsis reads:- "Anne Stone of Auberge La Dauphine guest house went to see a family of five donkeys in appalling conditions on a wine estate in the Paarl area. The farm owner was contacted and he agreed to the removal of the three older donkeys, but he wanted to keep the two foals as an attraction. After further negotiation the owner eventually agreed to sign over all the donkeys to the MacGregor Donkey Sanctuary. Anne Stone and a team of volunteers arranged two horseboxes, and with some difficulty, the five bedraggled little creatures were removed to temporary accommodation in Franschhoek. Anne and other locals are tending to the donkeys on a daily basis - grooming, feeding, giving medication and lots of love.
