Edgars Mission Farm Animal Sanctuary has rescued over 300 animals. In addition to providing a loving and respectful home for these animals to happily live out their days, they provide the public with the opportunity to meet and interact with farm animals. By showing visitors that the animals they might typically think of as food are actually dynamic, social and emotional beings, Edgars hopes to change the public perception of farm animals for the better.
The stories and photos they share of the animals who reside at their sanctuary are undoubtedly adorable, but they serve a much larger purpose in conveying a message of kindness. Operating under the slogan, If we could live happy and healthy without harming others
why wouldnt we? Edgars is on a mission to make us all fall in love to the worlds most abused animals.
One of these lucky residents is Clarabelle, a rescued cow who is a former victim of the dairy industry. Since coming to Edgars Mission, Clarabelles life has completely changed for the better. This is her story.
Milk Life is No Life At All
Similar to the U.S., Australian residents consume about 23 gallons of milk and 28 pounds of cheese each year. While many people think that the dairy industry is somehow less cruel than the meat industry, because the cows dont have to die to produce milk, this is hardly the case.
