Freedom Farm: Disabled animals get refuge in Israel via ReutersTV
MOSHAV OLESH, Israel - Miri, a three-legged donkey, Gary, a sheep with leg braces, and Omer, a blind goat, munch on some hay at Israel’s only animal rescue and educational sanctuary.
“If you want people to open their hearts toward these animals, we have to bring them close,” said Romano, stroking two pigs named Yossi and Omri. On a visit with her 84-year-old father, Shira Breuer, 56, said: “I’m worried about the future of humanity and this place sounds like a place of hope.”The farm’s most recent addition is Nir, a five-month-old cow fitted with a prosthetic leg to replace one that was broken and then amputated.
