🚨 Only 5 days to go!
We’re in the final stretch of our Drought Appeal Fundraiser and we urgently need your help to reach our goal.
👉 https://chuffed.org/project/droughtappeal

Sanctuaries are battling rising hay prices, feed shortages, and growing vet bills. Your support will help us:

🌾 Keep feeding animals through winter with urgently needed hay – now more expensive than ever due to crop failures and freight costs.
🥕 Cover essential feed like hay, chaff, oats, bird seed, barley, fruit, and veg.
🐑 Fund critical veterinary and animal care costs.

We’re so grateful to everyone who’s donated so far – thank you. 🙏

Please donate if you can, and share this far and wide:
👉 chuffed.org/project/droughtappeal

🙏 Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide essential support during this crisis.💚

Liberation Sanctuary is Australia's longest running farm animal sanctuary, home to over 140 rescued animals. Sadly, we have been facing severe rainfall deficiencies, and we are recovering from one of the most brutal summers in memory. The grass is gone. The dams are drying.

🌿 URGENT: Our Rescued Animals Need You! 💔

🐮🐷🐑💙 Please support our Drought Appeal today by visiting this link: https://chuffed.org/project/droughtappeal

Liberation Sanctuary has experienced one of the driest summers in memory. As a result the grass is gone, and the dams are drying up.

Our normally lush valleys are now dry and brown, with zero grass. We are facing surging hay prices, with rapidly decreasing availability. The costs have already been devastating, with unprecedented water cartage and more hay being required than ever before.

Every donation brings life-saving hay and water to our 140+ rescued animals.

🙏 Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness makes a difference. Thank you!

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 ❤️
