This one hits close to home. The owners of Hasty’s Haven horse rescue are some very, very dear friends of mine, and it’s heartbreaking to see what they’re going through after their donkey, Angelique, was shot.
Y’all, please be smart when hunting. Always be aware of your surroundings, positively identify your target, and know what is beyond it before you ever pull the trigger. Be mindful of nearby homes, pastures, livestock, and people. If you aren’t absolutely sure you have a safe shot, let it pass. No deer is worth someone’s life or a beloved animal.
These folks pour their hearts into giving animals a safe place and a second chance. They deserve to feel safe on their own property, too.
Please keep our friends at Hasty’s Haven in your prayers. If you’re able, consider supporting their efforts to make the rescue more secure, or share their original post to help spread the word. ❤️
