An animal sanctuary is running out of money after having to pay "astronomical" food and water bills because of recent hot weather. The Hakuna Matata Animal Trust said it was buying £500 of food a week because grass on its site in Marldon, Devon, had died, and temperatures were "having an effect on everything".
Founder Hayley Prescott said it was having to buy extra equipment "to create more shade" and its water bill was "a lot higher... because we
are having to constantly redo waters and create mud baths for the pigs to help protect them from the sun". A sponsorship scheme has been
set up to help keep the charity afloat, otherwise staff said they were worried it could close within two months.
