“A mother sheep suffering from a painful, untreated hoof infection and her beautiful newborn lamb have been rescued from a farm in England by a group of compassionate individuals.
She was first seen limping in a field, clearly left to suffer without veterinary care. The farmer had no intention of treating her—doing so would cost money. Instead, he chose to leave her in pain, hoping she would survive long enough for her lamb to reach slaughter weight in time for the Easter market.
We weren’t going to stand by and watch that happen. So we acted. We crossed the fences, entered the field, and carried the mother and her baby to safety—where they’ll be given the love and care they deserve.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of lambs are killed for Easter in the UK. One of the most violent ways to celebrate a holiday supposedly rooted in peace and renewal. We’re proud to have spared two lives from that brutality.”
