Mount Ulla, North Carolina, recently experienced a tragic incident where two mules and a horse, known for their heroic efforts in delivering supplies to victims of Hurricane Helene, were hit and killed. The animals, named Vader, Kev, and Amigo, were struck on a road after a tree fell on a fence, allowing them to escape their pasture.
The Mountain Mule Packer Ranch, where the animals were based, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, acknowledging the impact these faithful equines had on the community. These mules had been instrumental in delivering essential supplies like food, water, and building materials to areas affected by the hurricane, covering a vast region from western North Carolina to eastern Tennessee.
