Meet Miri and Gili
Hi, I’m Miri and this here is Gili, don’t we look like sisters? The truth is that we first met at Beit Dagan Hospital. I arrived at the hospital after I had been lying in a ditch with a broken leg for two months. If it hadn’t been for the rains and vegetation in the area, […]
Welcome Roy
Look how agile I am! You will not believe me – but only three weeks ago I could not stand on my own. Certainly I could not walk or jump. When I arrived at the farm, I was six weeks old, very weak and gaunt. I was born in a dairy farm and after a […]
The Story of Udi
On the eve of Passover, we received an alarming message stating that there was a calf stuck in a water reservoir in the south. They explained that more than half of his body was submerged under water, and that he was unable to move. He had probably been there for over a day and a […]
The Story of Bono
Bono was saved by a youth group, whose goal is to save lives. They give us hope for the future! While on an action in the North, members of the group asked a local sheep farmer if they could play with a baby lamb. They saw how loving, sweet and curious the lamb was, and […]
The Story of Staci (Rest in Peace)
Hi, I am Staci. When I was born the owner of the herd noticed that I could not stand and immediately separated me from my mother. He gave me 24 hours to find a new home, otherwise, he will kill me. In the middle of the night, volunteers from the Freedom Farm came and to […]
Meet Shai, Or and Orly
Shai and Or were found on the side of the road after falling from a truck transporting them to a fattening farm, to be sold as processed sandwich meat at a later date. A third turkey, Orly, recently arrived to the farm after falling from a truck on the way to slaughter. Orly was named […]
The Story of Gali
Gali came to us blind, covered in excrement and terrified. Being blind, she was unable to get to the food, therefore the farmers knew she would be unable to find her way to the milking machines. Usually “useless” calves are sold for meat, but because she was not able to feed properly, she was severely […]
Please meet Tal (Rest in Peace)
Hi, I’m Tal. People say that I am full of joy and beauty, but when I arrived at the Freedom Farm Sanctuary I was gaunt and could barely move. I’m sure you wouldn’t be full of joy either if you were trapped in a small cage and your future was decided the day you were […]
Please meet Yossi and Omri
It’s not easy rescuing pigs in Israel. In 1962 a law was passed making it illegal to raise pigs on Israeli soil, with the exclusion of scientific institutes and zoos. Only a small number of places are allowed to breed pigs for research purposes, when in actuality 60% of the pigs are slaughtered for […]
Mazal, Maya and Jenny
These very special sheep came to us with the assistance of a compassionate young volunteer who pressured her father to save a couple of baby lambs from his business associates in the agriculture industry. When we first received the lambs Jenny and Maya, they were frightened and shied away from any human contact. With patience […]
