Salt Cay Animal Donation Fund
"Water for Life"
Donkeys on Salt Cay were brought to the island by Bermudians in the 15th century when they came to rake salt. The animals were used to haul the salt from the salinas to small boats that would take the salt to waiting ships. Then, they were left to forage on their own until needed during the next salt raking season. When the Salt Industry stopped around 1960 the animals were left behind. Today you can find them roaming freely on these islands.
Their source of survival is the sparse vegetation and 2 water sources from the "old days" , a water hole and a cow well. Otherwise they rely mainly on rainfall collecting in puddles and hollowed out rocks. These sources need regular cleaning and maintenance. New sources and troughs need to be created. All of this costs money and we rely solely on donations.
