Billy was purchased by a family to be slaughtered as part of Eid al-Adha, an Islamic festival in which tens of millions of goats, sheep, cows and other animals around the world are ritually slaughtered each year.
However, the daughter in the family saw that he had grown to trust her family. He was raised alongside their pet dogs and adopted many dog-like behaviors - running to the gate to greet people, responding to his name, and playing with the other animals. She found it incredibly distressing that, after forming these bonds, he was going to be sacrificed.
She knew that she would never be ok with his slaughter and told her parents that it was wrong to slaughter Billy. She contacted Liberation Sanctuary to ask if we could take him in. We of course said yes and Billy is now a happy member of our goat tribe, where he will live the rest of his life safe from slaughter ❤
