Thanks to Sue Manning at the Associated Press, we learned this week of an amazing story of two blind cows, Sweety and Tricia.
Sweety was rescued from a slaughterhouse in Canada by Refuge RR, a horse sanctuary in Ontario, and needed a new home. So Refuge staff put the word out.
Farm Sanctuary in New York currently cares for a blind cow, Tricia, who was also rescued from a slaughterhouse. Tricia lost her companion last year, and has been sad ever since.
So the folks at the two rescues decided they needed to be together.
But it wasn’t so easy. There was lots of paperwork to be done to bring Sweety across the border. It took almost a month!
Eventually the big day arrived, and Sweety came to her new home and met her new friend.
This is Farm Sanctuary’s video from YouTube. WARNING: Have a tissue handy.

It always amazing me that animals just know what to do for each other.
Yeah, well, humans are the LEAST compassionate species on the planet.
This was wonderful! Thanks Rumpy!

That story sure made my day too!!!
OMG I can’t stop crying. I am giving to Farm Sanctuary right after I hit “Post Comment!” So glad that they were rescued. I’m never eating beef again, and will wean myself off of all dairy products as of this day! Thank you, Rumpy, for humanizing these wonderful animals. I saw a man on Good Morning America who is making meat substitutes from all-plants sources. He said that growing up on a farm, he couldn’t understand the difference between cows and dogs. Why it was okay to eat one, but not the other. Now I truly understand. God bless you!
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Glad I got to be a part of that lesson for you!
Oh Rumpy, wez not been very good buddies … wez so behind with bloggin.but I have an enormouze bag of cookies for you 🙂 xxooxxxx
