More 'pain and suffering' for closing animal sanctuary as miniature donkey put to sleep
An animal sanctuary that is to close its doors for the last time at the weekend, has had further tragedy after one of its miniature donkeys died.
Scotty’s Donkeys & Animal Park has been based at Apley Estate near Shifnal for 10 years but it will be closing its doors for the last time on September 3 when its lease comes to an end.
The donkey sanctuary had a host of events lined up for its last week, including a farewell to miniature donkeys, Ronnie and Todd, on Tuesday.
However, in a post on the sanctuary's Facebook page on Monday, Tony Scott and his wife Gemma Mytton-Scott announced the news they had to make the "heart-breaking" decision to have Todd put down.
