Image of the day: Dylan
This is Dylan, a calf who was rescured from a dairy farm in New York state exactly three years ago. The picture shows him at one week of age, beginning his new, happy life at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, one of the several refuges for animals rescued from the horrors of animal farming exploitation, where they are treated as mere commodities. So this August Dylan has turned three years old, which is lucky - if he had not been rescued, he most likely would have lived alone and tethered in a dark pen for up to four or five months, subsisting on an iron-defficient liquid diet and then killed for veal. I’m very happy that he’s still around, as a living proof of the beauty of compassion. Happy Birthday Dylan and thanks to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary for giving Dylan and many other animals a safe haven.
