Charlene (right) is a pygmy goat bought as a kid to live in a condominium - until one year later when it became apparent that goats do not belong in condominiums.

Animal care intern Gabriella spending some quality time with newly rescued calf Magnolia. Magnolia was considered trash by the dairy farm because she cannot get pregnant and therefore can't produce milk. Milk hurts. Try plant-based milks instead!
Magnolia excels at the act of being adorable. Did you know when a female calf is born with a male twin, she is sterile? The milk industry considers sterile female calves useless. Like male calves, they are often denied colostrum - that first milk, full of antibodies - and sold as "drop calves" at auctions for anywhere between $5-50. Magnolia was malnourished when we rescued her and is still in great need of weight gain. While we work on that, we hope (if you have not already) that you will work on transitioning toward friendlier foods...like soy, coconut, almond, or cashew based milks, cheeses, and ice creams.
You might have heard that Ben & Jerry’s is creating a dairy-free line of ice cream… Well it gets better - they’ve now announced that all dairy-free flavors will also be 100% vegan!

*Chickens: Did you know hens talk to their chicks and turkeys before they hatch? So that they will know her voice? Yet 99% of all chickens and turkeys are hatched in artificial incubators...they never hear their mothers’ voice. *Cows: Did you know that more than 90-98% of dairies remove babies from their mothers within 48 hours of birth? Even though calves would naturally nurse from their moms for 8-12 months (sometimes longer). *Pigs: Did you know that piglets raised for slaughter are removed from their mothers after 2-3 weeks and that this early weaning increases aggression and fear? Piglets would be weaned after 4-6 months...and female pigs stay with their moms for life. *Dogs: Did you know that many of the puppies sold at pet stores are taken from their mom before 8-weeks-old? And that their mom will likely live in a small wire cage until she is killed?
