Larry was rescued from a place that romanticizes killing as an “experience” for people who eat meat. These are breeders who allow you to buy your animal alive and participate in the killing. There are a million different justifications used for this practice, but the real reason is simply about money. Animals are bred and sold in a variety of terrible ways, and it’s all because of money.
Larry was sick as a baby, and not considered worth the effort to help him get well. Animals like that are often “disposed” of at sanctuaries where kind folks will help them get what they need. He’s now a healthy, happy member of our herd who loves gentle scritches, brushing and an occasional apple slice as a treat.
