The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on families around the world that use horses, ponies, donkeys and mules for their livelihood, with knock-on effects for animal welfare, researchers report.
The ground-breaking study highlighted welfare concerns, after finding that more than 75% of those reliant on working horses around the world see a negative effect from the pandemic.
“Many of the large numbers of people who need their horses, donkeys and mules to work are already living on low or very low incomes and have little in reserve when that work isn’t available,” said Izzy Wild, who is programme officer in the international department at the charity World Horse Welfare and lead author of the study.
