Bayo the horse will whinny with joy again when someone pets him and doesn't force him to perform heavy labor. Poor Bayo, how much he has cried for the difficult life that befell him, and as if it were a ballad, contrary to the one that made Vicente Fernández famous, this little animal will have a happy ending. Bayo is an eight-year-old colt whose job was to drag a heavy cart full of garbage through the streets of the Los Reyes La Paz municipality, but thanks to a rescue operation, he will now have a different life. Quadratin Edomex agency reported that it was thanks to the intervention of activist Elizabeth Soto, director of Seres Libres, that Bayo was rescued after years of fighting to ensure he would never be ridden again and would live in freedom. The sad fate of 'Bayo' From birth, the equine already had his fate marked, as his owner Julián Caballero Martínez trained and prepared him to endure hard work. Although the animal was well cared for, well-fed, bathed, and looked after, he lacked the best gift for any species: freedom, which he will now have at the El Camino Sanctuary, located in Xalatlaco. From the burden to the rescue Of his eight years, Bayo had three as a garbage cart puller, and although it was sometimes difficult for him to walk on slippery terrain and he suffered falls, he never gave up and would get up to continue his work. Elizabeth Soto, director of Seres Libres, stated that in a year and a half they have managed to free 20 horses, which today live in freedom, without being subjected to forced labor or ridden. What happened to Bayo's owner? Elizabeth Soto explained that Bayo's release did not leave his owner in the lurch, as he was given a motorized cart so he can continue his garbage collection work. Furthermore, she highlighted that 10 years ago, in Los Reyes La Paz, there were about 150 horses used for garbage collection, but with effort and awareness-raising work, they managed to eradicate that practice. It is important to note that Bayo's new home will be the El Camino A.C. Sanctuary, an organization located in Xalatlaco dedicated to the rescue, defense, and welfare of animals, particularly horses.
