It’s time to stop scrolling your phone, because here are our current favorite animal rescue videos that are sure to brighten your day!
Did you know that giving scratches to a cow not only feels good, but can provide medical benefits, too—like preventing parasitic outbreaks? Seeing all these rescued cows at Barn Sanctuary receiving such love and attention just warms our hearts.
We love a sweet animal duo! Videos like these remind us that farmed animals form bonds and relationships, just like us. A 2011 study that monitored cow heart rates and cortisol levels even showed that stress levels were significantly lower when they were with their closest companion in the herd. Animals have feelings, too!
The dedication of animal lovers is a powerful thing. It can be tempting to disengage at times when we’re reminded of the cruelty that farmed animals are enduring every day on factory farms. But success stories like these show that having compassion for animals, and acting upon that compassion, makes a real difference in their lives. Feeling inspired to take action?
Who doesn’t love a good rescue story? Seeing animals like Shewy come full circle—from being alone, sick, and scared, to eagerly awaiting belly rubs from trusted humans—is truly touching. Here’s to many more years of safety and love for Mr. Shew!
Raise your hand if you want to watch this video on repeat! Ashley the lamb radiates joy. Today, Farm Sanctuary says that Ashley is “living her best life” with all of her sheep and human friends.
