Voice for the Voiceless – Galga Savia – please help the animals
This is Savia – she is blind! She was found by a Spanish girl and was living in a field near to the old mineworks on the outskirts of Mazarron. Noah’s Arc went to the field where they eventually found SAVIA laying in the sun. When they got near her she

Unfortunately when they tried to put a collar and lead on her she took flight. One hour later they managed to catch her. -
