URGENT - HOMES NEEDED FOR 20 GOATS! Just when we were about to launch our latest kindness initiative for animals, ‘Will you be there?’ we learnt of the plight of 20 goats who were languishing in a rural pound and in desperate need of kindness. Knowing these hapless creatures, who had already been through so much, had fast run out of options, our actions were as swift as they were welcomed by the goats and kind hearted rangers. All 20 are now safe and secure at our sanctuary and have undergone preliminary health checks along with much needed hoof trimming and parasite treatment. In undertaking such a large-scale rescue of animals, we are again reminded of the importance of our ‘Will you be there?’ initiative. The aim of this campaign is to increase our base of ever-ready kind individuals who are prepared to open their hearts and homes to rescued farmed animals, providing them with much love, care, knowledge and kindness for the rest of their days. And so without further ado we launch, ‘Will you be there?’ To find out more information read on, as 20 beautiful goats need you. Will you be there? With numerous organisations doing great work to rehome cats and dogs and our wildlife carers providing a great network of coverage across the country, what becomes of farmed animals? These creatures are forgotten from our animal protection legislation and often forgotten from people’s thoughts, however they are never forgotten by Edgar’s Mission. In fact, it was the lot of one pig that changed the life of Edgar’s Mission Founder and Director, Pam Ahern, in 2003. Struck by the fact that farmed animals had nowhere to live lives where they were valued for who they were, not for what they could provide, Edgar’s Mission trotted into gear. Over the years, we here at Edgar’s Mission have come to realise just how much an organisation like ours is needed, not only to provide a voice for farmed animals but moreover to provide sanctuary for those animals who have become lost or abandoned with no identifiable owner. The latter of these reasons has been a driving force for securing our new forever home. But we have also come to acknowledge that whilst the animals think us super heroes, we are not, and sadly we cannot provide every single farmed animal in need with a forever place to call home sweet home, as well as continue to maintain the first class level of care to the animals already in our care, be good stewards to the land, be advocates for animals and last, but of equal importance, to give due diligence to our own physical and emotional wellbeing. The task of rescuing animals in need, whilst often difficult, heart breaking and expensive, is something we will never shy away from. Rendering care, veterinary attention, rehabilitation along with all the kindness, love and tender mercy we can muster will always be our charter. But we need to ask your assistance to help share the love. So we now ask, “Will you be there?” Will you be there to provide a rescued animal with a forever home? A home where they will have the company of their own kind, with shelter and warmth through the coldest of days and shade and cool water under the harsh Australian sun. A home where these gentle souls will never want for anything, where they will never be bred with or from, one where they will never be on-sold, given away, or (perish the thought) killed for human or animal consumption. A home where they will never again be forgotten, where they will be valued for the unique and beautiful creature they are, not as a something. Will you be there to provide a rescued animal with a life truly worth living? If you think you fit this lofty bill, we would love to hear from you as we seek to expand our base of adoptive ‘parents’. Through social media and publicity, the work of Edgar’s Mission reaches farther afield each day but so too do the number of calls from members of the public, animal rescue organisations, council pounds and even the police, to help farmed animals in need. We are deeply touched that so many have great faith in our work, and we take great pride that we are indeed able to provide a beacon of hope for farmed animals. Indeed this is something which we wish to continue providing. Like to find out more? Please check out our website for more information and the prospective adoption form - edgarsmission.org.au/will-you-be-there/ If you are unable to offer a rescued goat forever sanctuary please consider making a tax deductible donation today towards our medical fighting fund. Several of the goats are entire males and will require surgical castration and one dear girl has a critically injured leg which will require ongoing veterinary treatment and care - edgarsmission.org.au/medical-fighting-fund/
