Liberation Sanctuary Liberation Sanctuary has been taking in rescued farmed animals for over 33 years.

We are Australia's longest running dedicated sanctuary for animals freed from the exploitation and slaughter inherent to animal agriculture.

We found Betty alone in the middle of a biting winter. She was a new born calf without shelter, huddled shivering beside a transport truck ramp.

Now she roams the valleys of Liberation Sanctuary with our main herd, enjoying freedom and treats from our loving volunteers.

A huge congratulations to our volunteers Faith and Jot who got engaged while working hard at this week's sanctuary working bee. We wish them all the best for a beautiful life together! ❤️💍

If you'd like to volunteer with us you can visit liberation.org.au/volunteer. You probably won't get a proposal but you will help us provide love and care for the 140 rescued animals who call Liberation Sanctuary home.

This is Franklin, and he recently had the luckiest day of his life 🐂❤️

A few weeks ago one of our volunteers who had left for the day came running back to the sanctuary saying there was a cow on the road. We jumped in the car and sure enough a few hundred metres down the winding country road there was a cow in the middle of a dangerous bend.

One of our team stayed to stop traffic while another went to get treats to guide him off the road. When we returned there were several cars backed up each way, and our volunteer Laura was successfully leading the cow to safety on sanctuary grounds.

Unfortunately, soon the 'owners' showed up and saw him in our paddock. They said they had accidentally left a gate open and wanted him back, as he was scheduled for slaughter in a few days. It soon became apparent that it would not be an easy or safe task to get him back up the road.

Our volunteer Noah eventually managed to convince the neighbour that this cow they had had for four years and who was loved by their children, would have a happy life at the sanctuary, and said that their children would always be welcome to visit him. After some negotiation, and appealing to their better angels, he was released into our care.

We decided to name him Franklin, which means freedom. And he will now live out the rest of his life with our herd of rescued cows in the hills and valleys of Liberation Sanctuary, forever safe from slaughter.

Some of our special needs sheep inspecting the damage...

This week saw wild and deadly weather wreaking havoc across much of Victoria and NSW. We've had a hard few days with no electricity and several trees and branches taken out by the wind, but the power is finally back on and most importantly, all the animals are safe ❤

Alabama and her newly born son Oklahoma (Oke') ❤️
What a week here at Liberation Sanctuary!

Three months ago we took in a 12 year old vision impaired cow as her farm was closing and they didn't want to send her to the slaughterhouse. They had bottle raised the semi blind calf but she was still used for breeding. We warmly welcomed this sweet, but 'greedy' old girl into our special needs paddock. Right away she shooed our other blind cows away from the feed bowl. We had NO idea she was expecting!

Fast forward to Friday afternoon and out of the blue her beautiful baby arrived (note: first video is giving birth). All went well except by evening bubs was still not nursing and so emergency vet was called. I sat with mother and newborn for 90 minutes until vet arrived. I thought we lost him 2 times... all of a sudden Alabama came and sat right at my feet and laid her gigantic beautiful head into my lap and there she stayed for half an hour. I'll never ever forget those feels.

The vet was awesome, she proceeded to milk mum and teach Noah how to tube feed, which continued throughout the weekend until the little baby finally started to suckle on Monday morning! So far so good. 🤞

Alabama is the most loving and protective mum, never leaving her baby's presence. And now she'll be with her baby til the end. To break the mother/child bond for something so trivial as another species milk in our coffee or a cows milk cheese toastie causes immeasurable pain and suffering.

Open your heart and let this beauty of nature take its course - a proud mother loving her newborn, just like we love ours. Fellow Earthlings all wanting their lives to live. Veganeasy.org ❤️

Flashback Friday!

Yesterday we shared a reel of Anita enjoying some sheepy massages, so we thought we would flashback to June 2017, not long after Anita (right) arrived at Liberation Sanctuary as a 2 week old lamb joining Mia on the left who had already been at the sanctuary a month 🐑 🐑

While the official name for a group of geese is a gaggle, we think a gang of geese suits this lot just as well with their mafia vibe. Protect the family, no humans allowed!

Yesterday marked 1 year since former breeding mother Reeva was given a new lease on life by joining the Liberation Sanctuary family. When she arrived, she was overweight, covered in fleas and her last delivery was a c section so she was ‘no longer required’ by the backyard breeder from which she came.

Reeva is the sweetest girl and loves lots of pats and attention, which she is now receiving and will continue to receive for the rest of her days. Her body is hers and will no longer be exploited for human profit.
