Sheldon on patrol. Rescued from a horrid situation where humans were setting their pig-hunting dogs on him. The owner sadly surrended him for safety reasons. Sheldon lost one of his ears in the attacks but he can still hear the thump of a watermelon htting the ground from 200 metres. 🍉🍉 #rescuepig

While the rain is music to our ears, the cries of despair from our goats are unmistakable as they run for cover. Spare a thought for these poor souls as we welcome more rain 😉 🌧️ #wherepigsflyfarmsanctuary #goatfamily #animalrescue #animalfamily #govegan #vegansanctuary #raindance

Bubbles turned two this week and is asking for donations rather than presents. Link in bio! Found on a rural highway after falling from a truck. Picked up by two of the kindest people. Brought to WPF weighing in at 900gms and has grown into 100kgs of pure love and joy. Bubbles celebrated with friends over watermelon, rockmelon and pumpkins. A fearless ambassador for all farmed animals. The more folk connect with Bubbles and the WPF animal team, the more people go on to make more ethical food choices. We all need to make that connection between the food on our plates and these precious souls who are no different to our dog or cat. Happy birthday sweet Bubbles. Don’t forget to donate to her birthday fundraiser. 💗🎂💗#maketheconnection #govegan

Homeward bound. The dam ducks usually split into three friendship groups during the day. Thomas and his five pals took first place home this eve. Thomas was 4th out of the 6th - a very disagreeable duck, we love him anyway. His leadership skills are first-rate #wednesdaywaddles #someonenotsomething

Off to the vet for review and desexing this week. Please consider a tax-deductible donation toward Lenny and our rescue and rehab work. We cannot do this without you. Link in bio. ❤️🙏🏼

Feb 2
The start of a new friendship.💗 Oink, our blind cow, lost her paddock and “seeing eye” friend, Walter the sheep. He sadly died two weeks ago from old age. Oink and Walter had a close loving bond for over three years. Walter was Oink’s eyes. With Walter’s passing we were on a mission to find blind Oink a new paddock friend. We thought maybe Caramel could be the one. Caramel has been with us five years, rescued from severe neglect. She always spent most of her time alone or with the sheep team. She wasn’t keen on the other goats too much. So, early days but the bond between Oink and Caramel seems to be growing.💗💗💗

Every year, around 32 million lambs just like Henry are slaughtered between 6-8 months old for human consumption in Australia alone. This staggering and heartbreaking figure needs to change. Make your choices count. Take meat off your plate. Do it for Henry ❤️ #wherepigsflyfarmsanctuary #govegan #lovealamb #meatlessmonday #meatfree #vegetarian #vegan #sanctuary
You know it's going to be a good week when you get a wink from Pablo 🥰

Wilbur sleeping off sedation after his tusk trim. Wilbur was rescued from imminent slaughter and brought to the sanctuary over five years ago. He arrived in a cat carrier. 🙄 The comedian of the sanctuary. A gregarious, gentle character, Wilbur loves his life. He is one of the lucky ones. #maketheconnection #govegan

Throwback to the day the lives of two baby lambs changed course. Rescued from an industry of utter indifference to their suffering and early death to a sanctuary where they are loved, safe and seen as the unique individuals they are. Penny and Gary - on the long drive home to Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary. Love a lamb, don’t eat one. #govegan #theywanttolivetoo.

Jan 23
Walter died on Tuesday. He died fairly soon after enjoying his morning breakfast. His passing was quick and serene. Just the way I would like to go.
Walter was at least fifteen years old. Rescued from slaughter, he was one of the first animals to arrive at WPF. Walter was such a character with his own unique ways, likes and dislikes. Rheumy-eyed and wrinkled, he loved routine, morning sunshine and the company of good friends. He always welcomed us by popping his head through the fence railings as we approached his paddock. Walter enjoyed his twilight years in peace and dignity sharing a paddock with his best friend, Oink. A gentle, blind cow. They had a very close, loving bond. Walter was Oink’s eyes.
Walter was one of the lucky few. Most farmed animals rarely have a chance to experience a full life. Bred to reach slaughter weight at a young age, they are usually killed before they reach their first birthday. For our consumption. Sadly, our society turns a blind eye to farmed animals - we are indifferent to their lives, their suffering and early death. Yet, farmed animals are no different to the companion animals that we share our homes with. Each one is a living, thinking individual with a distinct personality who wants to live.
Our hope is that one day soon society realises that farmed animals are as deserving of our love and compassion as our companion animals. That their lives are precious too. We have the power to change. Each of us needs to decide whether to be a part of the unthinkable suffering that continues unabated or not. Our choice. Rest up Walter. You are loved. You are respected. You have a name. You are seen as someone, not something. Oink and all of us here will miss you terribly. Debbie ❤️
