Last weekend, a distressing situation in Ciplet mobilized the Animal Disaster Team (ADT). Upon arrival, they discovered a fox, visibly weakened, trapped in a neck snare. These cruel devices, illegal in Wallonia, caused the fox considerable suffering.

Despite the team's best efforts, the fox did not survive the transfer to the Andenne CREAVES. This tragic event underscores the immense suffering inflicted by these traps, which often lead to slow, agonizing deaths. Furthermore, neck snares are non-selective, posing a risk to all wildlife.

The ADT tirelessly rescues trapped animals and strives to raise awareness about the devastating consequences of such inhumane practices. If you encounter these illegal traps, act swiftly by contacting the local police and DNF at 1718, menu 2.

The ADT team was recently called in as a matter of urgency to rescue cats in distress in Molenbeek. These felines faced deplorable living conditions, residing in a warehouse slated for demolition. Abandoned and left to fend for themselves, some were infested with parasites and others had wounds. Thanks to swift and well-coordinated action, ADT teams were able to save these vulnerable animals.
The operation involved the deployment of a vehicle specially equipped by ADT, equipped with 30 cages adapted to the smallest animals. The team was able to secure and safely transfer the site's seven cats to specialist animal welfare partners, namely Help Animals and Cat à Cat.

The Animal Disaster Team (ADT) recently conducted an emotional special mission to Zillebeke, highlighting their unwavering commitment to animal rescue. The protagonist of this touching story was a large sow weighing 200kg, originally destined for the slaughterhouse.

Commitment to animal welfare is at the heart of the ADT team, which recently embarked on a humanitarian mission by supporting a shelter. This commendable initiative led our teams to Welkenraedt, where they worked with dedication to take care of donkeys abandoned by their owners.
Faced with the stubborn nature of these animals, only seven determined volunteers were mobilized to ensure their safe transport to the Tabula Rasa shelter, located in Lens.

In a recent rescue operation in Sclessin, the Animal Disaster Team (ADT) responded to an urgent call to free a swan that was trapped in a fenced-in parking lot. For three days, this elegant bird was confined, deprived of access to food and water. ADT's rapid and effective response was crucial in restoring the freedom of this animal in distress.

It is with deep concern that the ADT - Animal Disaster Team shares the harrowing details of a recent intervention in Kampenhout, in response to an urgent appeal from Flemish animal welfare. The sad reality is stark: more than 60 animals, including some 20 goats and billy goats, 20 ducks, as well as chickens and geese, were discovered in deplorable conditions, abandoned in a meadow overgrown with mud and excrement.
