Heartstone Sanctuary faces an urgent crisis. Please donate.
(I'm not the original poster, I'm sharing it. Feel free to repost this wherever.)
To comply legally and ensure the safety of their large, strong rescue residents - most of whom outlive typical farm cows because most cows don’t live to 25 since most are slaughtered between a few moments old and 5 years old.
Their infrastructure must be built from scratch. Standard equipment is inadequate for animals over 1,000kg. Due to unfinished work and limited donor support, they face a strict deadline to create a specialised handling area. Sadly the rescued cows will be “seized and terminated” if the regs don’t comply within the deadline.
Immediate needs:
• Safety: a customised, steel-reinforced handling system for veterinary care and health checks.
• Repairs: finishing the main shed roof for safety and weatherproofing.
• Welfare: installing automatic drinkers to meet updated regulations.
How to help:
• Donations: every pound directly supports specialised labour and construction.
• Sharing: spread the word to attract donors or tradespeople. Post, reshare, and amplify their cause.
Let’s save these beautiful cows together.
