Promoting the welfare of working animals is important not only for
the sake of the animals themselves, but for the livelihoods of
their owners. "Sharing the Load" stimulates collective action among
animal-owning communities to improve the health and husbandry of
their draught and pack animals by applying the methods of community
facilitation and collective action to the pursuit of animal
welfare. Since 2005, the Brooke has been pioneering the integration
of animal welfare science with best practice from the international
development sector to build communities responsibility for
sustained improvement in the welfare of their working animals.
"Sharing the Load" documents the outcome of four years development
of this process and includes field-based participatory methods and
tools designed specifically for this purpose, using lively
illustrations and text boxes in accessible language on the theory
of development practice and animal welfare science. The tools in
this manual have been developed and tested with owners of working
horses, donkeys and mules and are used daily with animal-owning
communities in developing countries. They are also relevant for
draught oxen, camels and other working species."Sharing the Load"
should be read by anyone who has direct contact with working
animals and their owners, including veterinarians, community-based
animal health workers, government extension workers and the staff
of rural development NGOs."
