GIVE RESCUED COWS A LONG SAFE LIFE

THIS IS A HARD ONE TO WRITE. I’ve been in tears all morning. A supporter wrote to say her ex told her today that the 2 friendly steers they raised together 3 years ago are going to the works for slaughter tomorrow. He never wanted them to be killed … but they’re his “only asset”, and he desperately needs money. She doesn’t have funds to buy her ‘babies’, and wondered if I would. Normally we rescue, we don’t buy. But these 2 boys have hit my heart particularly hard. It’s even worse when cows who’ve been beloved ‘pets’ are sent to the works by the human they trusted. It’s an extra layer of betrayal that stabs my soul. I know I can’t save them all. I know I have to say NO sometimes. But today’s not that day. We have an opening for 2 steers at Cow Care. I desperately want Firebird & Diesel to have those spots, to live their lives out in safety. So I’m fundraising, thinking outside the box, getting financially creative. The man doesn’t want them killed, so has given me a discount and has cancelled the kill truck while I figure it out. If you can donate here, thank you!!! If you want to sponsor their grazing at Cow Care ($15/week full sponsor, or $7.50/week half sponsor), and you can visit them… please email me on animalsanctuary@xtra.co.nz. Thank you!!
