Petra Streibich loves horses, mules, donkeys and cats. So much so that she decided to set up a sanctuary for elderly and sick animals in the central German town of Wertheim.Some of the animals come to Streibich with a serious resume: Several of her mules previously worked for the German Bundeswehr (armed forces). Having served their time, the veterans are now enjoying a well-earned rest.
It all started when a veterinarian put her in contact with an army brigade – the Gebirgsjaegerbrigade 23, or mountain infantry brigade, to be exact – at the Hochstaufen barracks in Bad Reichenhall.
