SIXTEEN neglected donkeys were seized from South Mayo and taken to The Donkey Sanctuary in Liscarroll. The donkeys were found abandoned in a field with no food and no access to water. Recent harsh winter weather conditions meant the field they were in was waterlogged. The carcass of a dead donkey was also discovered.
