Siverek is located in the Sanliurfa province in south-eastern Turkey, which experiences some of the country's harshest winter conditions.
Fortunately, the donkeys' chilling tale has a heart-warming ending. After photos of their plight were shared online, Siverek governor Hamza Erkal and Mayor Ali Murat Bucak sent a six-person team to their rescue. When the team found the donkeys, some of the creatures were so cold they were unable to walk and had to be carried to a truck that took them to an animal shelter.
Housed in a warm stable, the donkeys were fed and checked by a vet. The rescue team was instructed to stay alert for other abandoned animals in the area.
