Suffering from severe neglect, famished and sick with scabies, a ten year old ram was found near death at a petting zoo, where most of the animals were suffering from the same negligence.
Thanks to the effective advocacy of Let the Animals Live and a special unit appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture, a few of the sickest animals were confiscated from the petting zoo. Baruch was amongst them.
Baruch was immediately sent to an intensive rehabilitation facility for two months, where he received top medical care. Once he was out of danger, Baruch was transferred to the Freedom Farm Sanctuary.
Due to genetic modification, sheep are bred to have excessive wool growth on their bodies. This causes many problems, and they must have their wool sheared at least twice a year. Baruch was so uncared for that it took hours of careful work by a specialist to safely shear him. Now he is healthy and handsome, and enjoys spending most of his time with his adopted family, Mazal, Jenny and Maya.
