PLEASE READ HAPPY STORY: Herbie (the calf ) will be moving to Blairstown NJ

Herbie escapes death camp

 

The week before Christmas Herbie (about 3 months old) was found

wandering the streets of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, after escaping from a

truck headed to one of the many unlicensed slaughter houses scattered

around the Big Apple. After traffic jams and stunned pedestrians, the

police were finally able to capture him. The story hit the local news

and there was an outcry to secure his safety.

 

 

 

I was very concerned for this little guy. I wanted to make sure he

was not going back to the slaughter house. I called the animal

control to ask what would happen to Herbie. They told me he was

going to a farm. I then gave Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary (WAS) a

call to make sure he was going to a sanctuary. I was happy to hear

that the Woodstock Animal Sanctuary was in route to rescue Herbie.

The only problem was WAS didn't have enough room to keep him. My

husband and I jut finished building a 3 stall barn and were looking

for an opportunity just like this to save some farm animals!! I told

WAS we would love to take Herbie here in Blairstown NJ.

 

 

 

My concern for Herbie was he would be alone. Ironically WAS had

inquiry about another veal calf that needed rescuing from a dairy

farm. The dairy farm kills the male offspring or sells them off to

veal this little guy was going to be drowned. I told WAS I would

take both calves. Now Herbie won't be alone he will have a brother,

his name will be Kevin.

 

Herbie and Kevin will get a physical and be neutered at the sanctuary

before they arrive in Blairstown NJ.

 

 

 

It looks like they will be here in about 2 weeks. I will keep you

updated. If you live in the area and would like to meet them please

email me. We will be having a party after their arrival Ill keep you

posted.
