Animal Disaster Team jumps in to save a calf from drowning.

The call to ADT came in urgently, reporting a calf stuck along the railway tracks, near a stream in Hennuyères. On site, our teams located the calf near the railroad bridge, on the banks of the stream. Equipped with nets, our rescuers tried to encircle him to facilitate his extraction. However, the situation took a critical turn when the frightened calf backed up and ran into the water.

Faced with this new emergency, our teams had to act swiftly. The calf could not climb back up the slippery banks, forcing our rescuers to make a considered decision. Without hesitation, they plunged into the stream to hold the calf's head above water, ensuring an imminent rescue.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Help Animals for taking care of the animal at short notice. Their prompt and efficient collaboration was essential in ensuring that the calf was cared for after this perilous operation.

This ADT rescue underlines the crucial importance of speed and determination in emergency rescue operations. The calf now has a chance of a happy life, thanks to the exemplary bravery and cooperation of our rescuers. We remain determined to continue protecting and saving our animal friends, even in the most difficult situations.
