Blind rescue horse, Mr Jones, thanks everyone who has donated so far to our new Funding Appeal to build a purpose-built paddock and shelter to keep him safe and secure. ❤️ Mr Jones was rescued by the RSPCA. He waited months and months at the shelter for a forever home before coming here. Now we need to build him a safe space to live out his life. Please make a tax-deductible donation today for blind Mr Jones. Donate link in bio.❤️🙏🏼❤️ #helpmrjones #givingtuesday

WE NEED YOUR HELP.🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 We need to raise A$22,000 to provide a safe home to our blind rescue horse. Mr Jones. We have launched a crowdfunder on Chuffed.❤️ See link in bio.
Mr Jones was rescued by the RSPCA last year and, as a special needs animal, he needed a forever home that would be willing to address the challenges a blind animal presents with compassion, understanding and kindness. Mr Jones spent months and months at an RSPCA animal shelter awaiting the loving home he was so deserving of but nothing was suitable. The RSPCA team asked us if we could give Mr Jones a forever home at the sanctuary and we of course said yes.❤️ We have taken on many special needs in the past, including Oink our blind cow and Seamus the blind sheep. A vital part of keeping our blind residents safe is to provide them with a space that they can safely navigate around in.
So, to ensure Mr Jones has a wonderful quality of life for his lifetime, we are planning to build a spacious, purpose-built paddock for him. A paddock where he can roam safely to his heart's content. A paddock with safe, secure fencing to protect him from injury and harm and large enough to share with a companion horse as all animals need their buddies. A timber shelter will also be built as protection from the elements. This project will cost us $22,000. We are asking for your help to raise these funds. We have set up a crowdfunder. See link in bio.❤️🙏🏼❤️
Please donate, fundraise and, in lieu of birthday and Christmas gifts, ask your friends and family to make a tax-deductible donation. Please also share our crowdfunder as far and wide as you possibly can. Thank you so much. We have full DGR1 status with all donations over A$2 tax-deductible. We are 100% volunteer run. All monies raised will go directly to Mr Jones and his new, secure home. Thank you all very much. Debbie

Clarisse died today. Her legs and heart could no longer take the strain of her huge frame and she was peacefully euthanised. As a meat turkey Clarisse has been genetically bred to grow abnormally large at a rapid rate to maximise profit. As a result, these poor animals suffer from heart and respiratory failure, painful skeletal disorders and leg deformities. Their bodies become their cages. The vast majority of meat turkeys spend their short lives in artificially lit, windowless sheds. Slaughtered at 12 weeks old. Just babies. The industry's aim is "grow the animal as big as we can, as quickly as we can to maximise profit." No thought to the suffering and pain caused to these sentient beings. Clarisse was born to die, she was born to be your Christmas turkey bought at the supermarket for $35 or so, perhaps her body would be discounted to just $20 or $25 on Christmas Eve. Only consumer demand will drive change towards a better world for animals. There are so many plant-based options available, there is no reason to eat animals. Please make your food choices count. RIP Clarisse. You are loved. Your passing is marked. We will miss your sweet, curious ways. #maketheconnection #govegan #someonenotsomething

Nov 23
Shirley celebrates two years of sanctuary living. She was rescued just days before she was due to be sold at a sales yard. Shirley had spent her life living in a tiny paddock with rubbish everywhere, neglected and malnourished. Sadly Shirley had to leave her young family behind (owner would not release). After months passed at the sanctuary, she was not settling well, she had an inner sadness that we could not rectify with love and kindness. After lengthy negotiations, Shirley’s babies were released to her original rescuer and finally reunited as a family at WPF in April 2019. The family have had a few health issues due to their past neglect but they are happy together in their forever home. ❤️#someonenotsomething

Hannah, rescued battery hen, is roosting on the arm of the chair this eve, usually it is the seat. A slight variation tonight. Her eye infection is improving slowly but I think even when back to full health she fully intends to stay a house hen for the rest of her life. Hannah waits at the front door each afternoon waiting to come indoors.❤️ #notleaving #someonenotsomething

Lewis. Day 6 of sanctuary life.❤️ Rescued and rehabbed by the RSPCA 3 mths ago from starvation and neglect, Lewis was in such a critical condition vets were not sure he would live. But here he is today, splashing around in our dam (see 2nd frame). I always wonder what our animal friends think and feel when they arrive at the sanctuary after years of abuse and cruelty. I hope in time their past is forgotten or becomes a distant memory. So brilliant that we could give Lewis a forever home and we can all watch him flourish. No way could we do this work without your support. Thank you.❤️🙏🏼❤️ @lewishamilton

Hannah the hen sleeps in the house at night. She is recovering from an eye infection so needs extra love. Hannah free ranges through the day then waits on the front step to come in at night. The green chair in the corner is her favourite spot.❤️ Hannah was rescued from a battery cage not much bigger than a Mac. A wire cage she shared with six other hens - just so we can eat their eggs. #safenow #heretostay #govegan

New intakes. Twins, female and male, found lying next to their dead mother in an isolated paddock just days old. Rescued and hand raised by good, good people. Very bonded, they needed a home with space to graze where they could live out their lives together. WPF is now home.❤️ #someonenotsomething #farmsanctuary

New intake. Neglected and starved before rescue by the RSPCA. Still a way to go but his condition today is much improved from 2-3 months ago when rescued. He was so weak and emaciated vets weren’t sure he would survive. Thankfully, a horrific, desperate past is behind him now. The sanctuary is his forever home and he need never worry again.❤️ We have called him Lewis.❤️ Please make a tax-deductible donation to help us rescue and care for the animals in need.

Nov 11
Wilbur celebrates six years at Where Pigs Fly. He and his siblings were due to be slaughtered within ten days of this first photo. They had been used to educate Year 10 students at an Australian school and were no longer needed. All lives were saved thanks to an amazing person who cared enough and saw them as living, loving beings not objects to be disposed of after use. Wilbur loves life. He is the comedian of the sanctuary, always on form. Gregarious, he charms everyone he meets. Wilbur wants to live as do all animals. We don’t need to continue killing them for their flesh, milk, fur. Let the animals live in peace. Look at that smile.❤️ #maketheconnection #govegan #farmsanctuary

Molly and Boris coming in for supper. Molly was used as bait to train pig-hunting dogs. Both ears torn off and had open sores across her body before rescue. Despite the unthinkable abuse she endured for however long, on day 1 here - a sweeter soul you could not meet. We love Molly.❤️ #someonenotsomething
