Roy and Mercy almost didn't make it but instead we're now celebrating their 13th rescue anniversary at The Gentle Barn farm animal sanctuary. As babies they were nearly slaughtered for veal, but instead The Gentle Barn cofounder Jay Weiner drove across the country to rescue them. When they arrived home to Ellie Laks and the Sun Chlorella Healing Center, we got to work getting them vet care, and had staff and volunteers with them all day and night—and these gentle souls blossomed! As they've aged and now need more care, we brought Roy and Mercy to our main location to get acupuncture, high-calorie food, softer ground, and closer proximity to food, water, and shelter in their golden years. Roy and Mercy exude love and gentleness to all of us, and we hope that we will have them here with us for many more years. #rescuestory #animalsanctuary #animalfriendships #cowtok
