The Reality of Rescue | Raisin's Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2024
- Raisin was a young jenny donkey that we intercepted from auction through our Buy-Out Program in May. As you can hear in the video, we were shocked to see her step off the trailer with a horrific broken leg. We were told told the injury had happened 10 days ago in Oklahoma, but upon further inspection, our veterinarian estimated that her leg had been in that condition for months.
It was incredibly heart breaking for our team to see her like this, especially since she came from within the slaughter pipeline. No one cared enough to help this innocent animal. Instead, people chose to try to make a profit off her. Sadly, there was nothing we could do to fix the her leg. She was given a sedative and pain medication before peacefully receiving the Last Act of Kindness. This is the reality of rescue work and why we think it is important for you to see both sides to our rescue work.
We rescue horses of all species, ages, training levels and colors. No animal is ever turned away at our Open Admission Shelter!

You did heal her. You gave her gentle hands, pain relief, and a name ❤ I send you big hugs.
Dr Lydia, I hope there was someone there to hold you and heal you after such a traumatic intervention. I really feel for you and know that the constant suffering of these poor animals really gets to you and I just hope that you take care of yourself. I send you loving energy and white light.❤❤❤🙌🏻
You may want to watch again, its all there.
It's really terrible how people can ignore such suffering! Poor Raisin. Thank you Dr. Lydia for the quick intervention. Her emotions show her true love for these poor creatures. Again:thank you Dr. Lydia and HPHS for your work, your love and kindness to all the animals in your care
Thank you for showing Raisin the kindness that no one else has shown her for her entire life. For all those that you help, thank you.
OMG! This made me cry! How can people be so horrible to such beautiful animals? Thank you Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina for putting this beauty out of her misery, pain and suffering.
Thank you for being there for her. Thank you for rescuing her from her pain.😢😢😢
You should use this video as well for the D.C. people, especially for the one who said he believes in the slaughter of horses.
I am so sorry Dr. Young. Thank you seems so insufficient, but please know how much your compassion is valued and appreciated.
Dear Dr. Lydia, really, I am in tears about this poor little girl as well. Like every human being with a drop of kindness left inside his body. Let everybody be felt like being huged by one another.
This little girl was loved in her last hour eventually ❤❤❤.
Thank you Dr Lydia🧸❣🕊
Greetings from Germany
Dr Lydia please feel many hugs around you as you have had your heart broken so many times. 💔 May God touch you and heal your heart.
Her little leg was the stuff of nightmares, I can't believe she was allowed to suffer like that for who knows how long. Her original owners should be ashamed of themselves for letting an animal suffer like that in order to get a few buck and not have to "deal" with her anymore.
Where is the justice!! Put them in jail!! No accountability. Makes my blood just boil! I hate these auctions and the people who run them and allow this!! They need to be held accountable!!
Crying with you Dr. Lydia! Poor Raisin!
This is why I donate.The suffering is real.Kind words don't heal but donations do !!
Donate,guys !! ❤
Poor, poor baby! Thank you for having the strength and compassion to be there for her! Passage of the SAFE Act could change this if enforced!!!
The SAFE Act would have no impact on animals that don’t meet the criteria to make it across the border
My bad Sweet peas - I meant the PAST Act.
@@rosewhite8647 Neither would the PAST act…
@@Sweetpeaslovrr ? How so?
Sorry again! I'm getting confused on the episodes. Last one was a Big Lick horse having to be put down. It's my belief that owners under the SAFE Act (if passed) will not be able to bring equines, such as the broken leg donkey, to auction at all. Please correct me if you feel I am mistaken. Thank you!
The world needs more vets like those at Horse Plus ❤❤❤
How do those people live with themselves?, seriously shame on the haulers and the whole system. Ty HPHS for rescuing Raisin.
Thank you for being there and seeing her free. 😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you for making her a priority in your care for taking her out of her pain😢😢
Unconscionabale! God comfort you Dr Lydia for you had to give the Last Act of Kindness to baby Raisin. Truly we will all remember her. 😭😭😭
A Raisin in Valhalla, running free, running without pain.The pastures are forever green, the water sweet and cool. A Raisin in the sunshine safe and comfortable.
To the person that owned Raisin, you allowed her to be in discomfort, great pain and it was your job to cared for her. YOU FAILED!!!!!!!! You failed to provide medical needs for such gorgeous baby donkey. You failed by dumping her into slaughter pipeline. Do you always fail at giving proper care for your animals?
Thank you giving this precious baby a safe and loving way out of her pain.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
they should be banned for life from owning ANY animals!
Thank you, guys, for being there for her. And making her your top priority. Hopefully she knew what love was in those last few moments. RIP, Raisin
you guy's are so awesome .. i hate to see animals in pain
GOD will judge those who abuse and ignore the needs of the most vulnerable of His creations.
Thank you HPHS, for ending her suffering. ❤️😔
I will never understand how anyone could hurt an animal or see a hurt animal and do nothing to help over and over again . Thank you all for everything you do for these majestic animals 🫶🏻❤️
Dr Lydia, thank you from Raisin for giving her the sweet relief she desperately needed.
I’m so sorry someone wasn’t human enough to do what you had to for her, let’s hope Karma is swift on them. I wish I could protect your beautiful heart, I really do. Thank you for you. 🙏🏻
Bless her. I know she is running and jumping in heaven thanks to your swift action. Bless you.
This one made me physically ill!! Poor sweet girl! Thank you for helping her in the best way possible.
This one made me cry.
God Bless you all! I thank the lord in heaven every day for kind compassionate human beings such as y'all. I cannot express enough my gratitude and appreciation for helping treating, loving & SAVING these precious creatures He created.
Oh Dr. Lydia I just want to give you a hug. Thank you for all you do. ❤❤❤
I have a donkey and three horses. I’ve had my Willow since she was only a month old. She lost her Mom. She’s been with us for twenty years. I can not imagine letting any animal endure that kind of pain. Thank you for releasing her. You gave her peace.
Take comfort in the fact that you was there when see need you. You are raisin angel.
So heartbreaking. Thank you for bearing the burden of these distraught animals in pain. Tears flowing.
I can't even imagine how you all are able to cope with what you have to deal with. Only the power of God can be there for all of you. You have my prayers. 😢😢😢
Omg guys I felt sick to my stomach watching this poor baby suffering, how can people treat animals like this 😭😭, thank god you gave her the last act of kindness thank you 💖
Never apologize for crying it just shows the beauty and love in your heart. Now you understand why you have to stay and do the work you do. God bless you x
So cruel and sad!!! Thank you, Horse Plus!
Thank you rescuers for having to witness this and document the whole thing. Dr. Lydia cries every intake day. I’m sure all of you do, so take care of your mental health. bless your hearts.❤
Thank you!
Brutal awful people. Thank you Horse Plus for helping these animals.
Dr. Lydia’s compassion and sadness mirrors that of many of your viewers. It’s such a shame that owners don’t do the right thing for their animals. 😢
I cried for the second time watching this one.
Please, please, please thst all you do, all of you, is amazing. Even in the hard times, you guys are showing love and kindness that some of these animals have never known.
😢😢😢 RIP Raisin , you deserved better, thank you Dr Lydia for helping her x
The evil that some people do makes me sick! What a sad ending for such a beautiful donkey.
Dr. Lydia and all at Horse Plus I am with you. THANK you....
Compassion fatigue sadness is overshadowed by the fact that they found you.💛💛💛🐴💛💛💛
Thank you for taking away this sweet Jenny’s pain.
For what it's worth...... I love your kind heart Dr. Lydia!!! ❤❤ I wish non of you had to experience this, and that people would be caring and responsible of their animals! Poor baby! You really do a remarkable job! ❤❤
Heartbreaking is right, how can some people be so uncaring as to allow this suffering is beyond my understanding. Thank you for doing the hard, responsible, and kindest thing for those in need.
This is so heartbreaking . Thank goodness you intervened.
It hurts my heart to think this poor little donkey suffered for so long. You guys are so caring and I'm glad that the donkey is out of pain. Love what you guys do you're very compassionate and caring. It's a shame most people don't understand chronic pain is really hard to live with. It's not easy but you guys do but you guys have given the last act of kindness to so many suffering animals. Thank you for loving these precious animals❤
I'm so glad that Horse Plus was able to intercept Raisin and do the right thing, but heartbroken that it took so long for this poor little donkey to get to someone who would. It should be a crime, if it isn't already, to keep an animal in such obvious pain. I wonder if it happened before or after she was dumped into the pipeline, because I can definitely see that being the result of being crushed by a larger animal in a crowded trailer.
A river of tears here. Raisin never had a chance at life. Donkeys live a long time and her time was so, so short. It takes humans doing the right thing - every time. 🐴❤
R.I.P. kleine hübsche liebe Raisin❤❤❤❤❤ Mach's schön gut, mein Schatz❤❤DANKE HPHS, DANKE DR LYDIA❤❤❤
They don't look the other way...they look right at it and feel nothing, do nothing. Something is seriously wrong, a psychopath. God help them.
Beyond heatless and cruel. Thanks for attending to her pain so quickly.💗
Bless this poor donkey…😢😢😢 I’ve been rescuing dogs since 1988 and seeing her suffering had me in tears.
I’ll never understand how anyone in their right mind would leave an animal suffering like this. People need to step up and do the right thing or at very least splint or try to support the limb
RIP little Raisin. So sorry evil humans let you down and let you suffer for months. Thanks for rescuing her for the small amount of time you had her. I think she knew kindness for once at the end.
Thank you for ending her suffering.
It is so heart breaking to see a beautiful creature be treated that way, and to know Raisin was loved and shown mercy by you is very emotional for you all see so much.
When I first saw this video, I cried. How can anyone see this and let an animal continue to suffer?! There is a special place I. Hell for those callous individuals.
KARMA!! please come get these owner/shippers. thanks doc, supreme job taking care of this little one.
so glad she came to you, what suffering, inhumane, love the quick decision
Such a sweet baby, fly high little one. Thank you for caring.
You are a much stronger person than I. Thank you.
I held it together until Dr. Lydia cried, and then I lost it too.
Sometimes I just hate people. I don't understand how this kind of cruelty can exist.
Thank you Dr. Lydia and Horse Plus for being there and doing the kind thing, despite how hard it is.
Me too.
The act of kindness should have happened right after it happened. That’s ridiculous.
I was crying on this one. Poor helpless baby. Thank goodness she found her way to Horse Plus and the immediate resolution to her suffering. RIP little Raisen, thank you Dr. Lydia.
Nothing makes me wanna cry and swear a blue streak like stories like these. 😢🤬
Thank you, Dr. Lydia, for using your training, skill, and compassion to relief the horrific suffering of so many. May God comfort and strengthen your heart (and Dr. Gina & the vet team). May you all rest in His love and hope, and be continually refreshed by His Spirit in the critically important work you do.
So very sad. Simply sad at first, then angry, frustrated, Raisins lifestory, thank you for sharing g it.
Thank God for the last act of kindness. I shudder to imagine the HORRORS they must go thru in the slaughter pipeline.
THANK YOU, BLESSINGS
That was hard to see. I don't know how anyone could be so evil to let anything suffer like that. She was adorable. Dr
Lydia, you are amazing.
I am sitting here crying with Dr. Lydia.. so sad..
Truly heartbreaking. Thanks for helping this gorgeous baby donkey xx
My heart broke for Raisin....😢
Sad beyond words. Some humans seem immune to pain and suffering of animals. Wonder how they feel about human pain? Very scary when you think about it. Thank you. Dr. Lydia and everyone at Horse Plus for helping societies rejected animals.
Dr Lydia - dont you dare apologise for tearing up over Raisin. I am bawling here. I am SO pleased you were able to just give her the last act of kindness on the spot, certainly NO point doing Xrays or further investigations on that leg before putting her to sleep. It is the ONLY thing you can do.
You would not be doing whaat you love and strive to be doing if it didnt get to you and upset you ... The day you go through a day or one animal and are numb to it and dont think about it and dont get upset - is the day you should quit.
In 2011 I had a colt who was a total dag, by my stallion, out of a lovely lovely mare, and the babies were all bouncing around the paddock as it was coming in stormy, the paddock had not long been plowed up to get rid or weeds (preferred to plow in than poison) and they had round bales in with them ... I'd been down and fed my lot in the morning, friends living with me (got the ex out of the houe and the only way I felt safer was with friends there - who just used me as a convenient place to live and pooped more than a horse with the runs full of worms.... but at the time were being good if that makes sense - well the hubby wandered off to their ponies, and came back in pretty quick and said that the colt was down - shattered broken leg. I had no choice but to call the ex to come put him down as he would go pick up the rifle and come do it. He would not do it through if my friends were on the property - what a crappy person he was. They were in the house - I'd taken the ute down to the bottom paddock and sedated the colt, and made sure he was not getting up. Near Side Forearm, half way down it, I think he had burned around a corner playing with the other kids and landed in one of the furrows in the paddock a bit wrong, twisted at the same time and taken off and it all kind of just twisted and shattered at the same time. 😞 I told the friends to just park their car in the back yard, the hubby was down with the colt with me for moral support til we saw the ex coming down the road, then he disappeared up to the house. Ex came in, Looked and tried to blame ME then the Friends for it happening..... WTH? Foals are foals, they zoom and zig and zag and sometimes step wrong. Its like us - we can step wrong on the pavement or getting out of bed and break our darn ankles, or hips or necks. I had to get tough and say just PUT HIM DOWN NOW and leave. Thankyou for coming to do that for me.
That was horrific enough and it was literally no more than 2 hours between him having been perfectly fine when I fed and checked those needed and talked to everyone (and did a check over as you do to make sure noones done anything daft overnight) and then the hubby of my friend finding him with a busted leg, and then another 20 mins til he was PTS. I didnt even let him get up. Just feeling it and picking it up sideways from the elbow and seeing it flop down from ... well, an extra 'joint' that shouldnt be there above the knee... like Raisin - no need for further investigation.
Big Hugs to you Dr Lydia, Dr Gina, and ALL - you do an amazing job there
People are so disgusting. I can't believe people would allow an animal to suffer like that for months. You guys are all amazing. I love watching your videos and seeing what you guys do for these animals.
Still just breaks my heart 😢😢😢 🙏 thank you 🙏
I cannot fathom this level of cruelty. Not only by the owner who put her into the auction like this but also this level of cruelty practiced by EVERY hand she came in contact with for months. There had of been scores of people who could have stepped in and helped her and didn't. It is mind boggling unbelievable that NO ONE put a stop to her suffering before she got to you. Crazy mean world with a lot of callously vicious, seared conscious, heartless, immoral, cruel people.
Having had an unstable fracture, I just can't imagine walking on one. Those poor creatures.
You guys do an amazing job. It’s tough on the rescuers who have to go through this because of their previous owners. My heart breaks with you Dr. Lydia when I see your compassion and raw emotions.
Half her young life she only knew pain😢Thank god she was saved from many more kill pen auctions and a long tortured journey to slaughter. Instant relief from her pain and suffering immensely sad for such a young Jenny 😢
So much respect for Dr. Lydia!!! Thank you for the love of animals in your heart that you have the compassion and common sense to stop everything to give this poor suffering being a way out of pain!!! Bless You!!!
I am sending prayers for all of you and for those wonderful, God given animals you love and help. May our Lord bless you and them ❤😢
Good God Raisin.
That had me weeping for this beautiful young soul who deserved so much better. Thank you Dr Lydia for your compassion and strength in doing the right thing.
The meanest beings on earth are humans for no other reason other than greed. I'm often ashamed to be a human when I see cruelty like this, but then I remember, we can also turn the very bad situations into something positive. Raisin found you, she found a little bit of love in her final few minutes, and for that I'm thankful, and I know Raisin is too. Keep going HPHS, you light up their stories like you wouldn't believe.
Heartbreaking! Thank you for stepping up and doing the right thing!
Our pleasure!
Thank you, Dr Lydia and all at HSPS, for being willing to put yourself through the vicarious trauma to give these equines decent and loving care, even for the end of life.
Run Free little Raisin. ❤
Thank you so much for making her a priority. I am so sorry that such callousness and ignorance exists and that y’all have to deal with it on such a regular basis. My heart goes out to you ❤
❤😢❤
Sometimes there are no words that can describe the heart ache.
I hate people! I love you all at HP though. You're a few of the good ones. Thank you for giving this little donk peace. 🥺
You guys are doing a great job for the horse 🐎 Nanette
Did Raisin come in with a companion? I noticed as soon as she was off the trailer a mule with a halter on hurried to her. Maybe they had became buddies on their shared journey? God bless you all. Thank you!
Poor, poor Raisin. 🙏 ❤
I totally get how a break like this can lead to any equid not being useable at all. But dumping her rather than euthanizing her, or even just spending less than a dollar on a bullet... This is just so unacceptable. I will never understand the cruelty and selfishness of humans. Thank you for being there for her.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
