I’m Gonna Make You Sad

She is still alive, don’t worry. I do want to tell you about her first two days of life. See the picture? That’s how she spent her first two days of life. This places her birth around March 1.
This picture was sent to a goat farmer by a friend who was visiting this other goat farm. When she saw the baby on the ground, she asked the farmer what happened. “She can’t walk. I’ll just leave her for the birds.”

Why would someone say that? How could someone be so callous? And here is what will make you sad. How many little babies before her were also left for the birds?

With just a little love and care this little girl is doing better. She’s not out of the woods yet. She is still healing from her respiratory infection. But she survived for two whole days on the ground with no one to look for it look after her that is the picture of her mom and twin in background.

The person’s friend sent her this picture and said you have to come get her. The rescuer is also a meat, goat farmer. But she wanted to try to help. When she realized she couldn’t continue to give better to this little goat, she found sanctuary for her.

The farmer who wanted to leave her for the birds, is a larger scale, goat farmer that currently had 500 babies born recently. Some might say reasonably how could he keep up with all of the babies being born and who isn’t thriving and still in a field. But, that is the price of agriculture of breeding of selling animals for commodity. This is why someone can say she can’t walk, so I’ll just leave her for the birds. Like somehow, it’s the circle of life. It is not because nothing about the system is natural.
It’s just plain cruelty. That means on all farms that breed and have hundreds and thousands of babies born every month the mass amount of babies that are left to die in fields because they aren’t going to make a profit is the worst way to die.

Little fluff ball had to go back to vet this morning due to fluid in her lungs. Thank you if you can help cover her vet bill.
