Brick Kilns: Heavy Loads. Horrific Heat. Little Hope.

Every day is a living hell for animals working in brick kilns. Will you help stop their pain and suffering?

Working animals are in dire need of your help in one of the world’s most brutal workplaces: the brick kilns of India.

Here, hundreds of exhausted donkeys and mules struggle to carry huge loads of bricks strapped to their backs. In temperatures often exceeding 40°C, they haul load after load of bricks to and from the kilns to supply builders.

Relentlessly carrying gruelling loads leads to terrible suffering. Many animals slip on the rocky ground, causing crippling lameness. The oppressive heat puts them at constant risk of dehydration. And their heavy loads often cause their harnesses to dig into their skin, leaving terrible open wounds and exposure to deadly diseases.

With little access to health care, every day is a living hell for animals working in brick kilns.

But there is hope.

A SPANA mobile clinic started regularly visiting a brick kiln in Gujarat, India to provide much needed care to animals working there.
