I was born into the goat’s milk industry.
The Freedom Farm told me they have received a call about a goat who is unable to stand or walk. I was very weak and I was laying helplessly on the ground. My body was covered with burns from my own urine and I was a candidate for immediate slaughter.
My hind legs are paralyzed and I needed to be treated with an individual care and with special attention.
I arrived to the farm at just three weeks old. As soon as I arrived, the Freedom Farm staff started a rehabilitation process with me. They have fitted a special splints for my hind legs to strengthen them and to stabilize them at the right angle. After my legs got a little stronger they have adapted a special wheelchair for me!
As I grows, they need to adapt a new wheelchair that fits my size.
With my chair, I’m running, jumping and enjoy life of freedom. You can immediately forget that my hind legs are not functioning.
About males in the dairy industries
The goat milk industry doesn’t keep the males since they aren’t producing milk. (A goat can produce milk only when she is pregnant). Therefore, all males in the dairy industry are sent to slaughter.
In most of the farms in Israel, the female and male goats are separated from their mother immediately after birth.
