HELP REQUIRED: Arson attack at Didcot Animal Sanctuary :(

Not only is this small animal sanctuary desperately searching for a new base following the sale of the land they currently occupy, but last night some horrible person/s set the place on fire, destroying their stables and killing two sheep Sad

I've already decided that I'm not being unreasonable by posting here purely for traffic.

If anybody wishes to donate, this is their JustGiving page: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/DidcotAnimal?utm_id=107&utm_term=Qpwar8VQe

If you want to read the article in the Oxford Mail, it is here: www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/15094148.Animal_sanctuary__heartbroken__over__arson_attack_/

If you want to have a look at their facebook page: www.facebook.com/didcotanimal/?hc_ref=SEARCH

They will also need practical/material help as outlined on their facebook page if anyone is local to the area & they ultimately need a new base if anyone knows of any land.

If you can't donate, please share.

Thank you Flowers

128 people have donated so far and it would have been 1 or 2 cunts who did it.

One good thing that comes out of anything totally shit is that it shows us there are far far more good people than bad ones.

So sad and shocking. Thanks for posting; I have donated.

MalletsMallets · 16/02/2017 09:06

How have I not heard about this?
I've donated. So sad.

glenthebattleostrich · 16/02/2017 09:11

I've no spare cash til payday but set a reminder to donate

HunterHearstHelmsley · 16/02/2017 09:15

Donated and shared on Facebook.

Twogoats · 16/02/2017 13:13

I spoke to my friend who lives in Didcot about this. He said that businesses have been trying to buy that land for years as Didcot is a hotbed for new property! Anyone know if that's true? Sad

MalletsMallets · 16/02/2017 13:27

That was my feeling when I read the article twogoats It said they'd been given notice and were looking for somewhere new

user0000000001 · 16/02/2017 13:27

twocoats it really wouldn't surprise me. It's 45 mins on the train to London Paddington SadAngry

FatCatFaces · 16/02/2017 13:40
yep, it seems they have until October to either find new premises or rehome all their animals. So mean spirited.

Don't suppose anyone knows anyone with a spare two acres...?

Wouldn't surprise me if this was perpetrated by some horrible developer. Wipe the place out in one fell swoop and then there's no reason it can't be sold tomorrow Angry

I live fairly close (not near but close!) and developers are relentless round here. Turn up on your doorstep (One wouldn't leave), send Constant letters.
Any parcel of land they are absolutely determined to fill.

MalletsMallets · 16/02/2017 14:01

But it's also half term as well.
Glad I'm not the police investigating this one. Poor animals.

73kittycat73 · 16/02/2017 14:56

Thanks for posting this, just donated.
Heartless bastards. Angry I hope they're caught.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 16/02/2017 15:15

Bumping for exposure...

Hoping for the best possible outcome for the animals in need. And, of course, that the perpetrator(s?) is (are?) caught.

Madbengalmum · 16/02/2017 15:20

Just donated, how awful for all involved, how evil can some people be.

lilyboleyn · 16/02/2017 15:57

Have also donated. Such a horrible thing.

icy121 · 16/02/2017 16:11
Sad
Madbengalmum · 16/02/2017 16:24

Nice to see so many are helping!

LazySusan11 · 16/02/2017 16:36

Have also donated, I sincerely hope they get back on their feet quickly. 💗

That's horrible. Some people are so cruel. I hope they are able to find some new premises.

Madbengalmum · 16/02/2017 18:09

Lets hope so x

Twogoats · 21/02/2017 13:04

I spoke to my friend about this today. He said the sanctuary was exposed as a scam at the weekend? He said some people turned up to donate goods and found the animals in terrible conditions? Anyone have any info on this?
