Separated from their mothers, they then faced the unthinkable fate of the ‘bobby truck’. Rescued in time and given a second chance at life.
Each year in Australia, over 400,000 calves are born on dairy farms and are deemed as “waste” or “surplus”. Billy and Chance were two of those calves. From the moment they were born male on a dairy farm, they faced an unimaginable fate.
Male calves in the dairy industry are often seen this way as they offer little financial gain to a farmer.
Like many before them, they are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life.
This is the heartbreaking reality thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.
Billy and Chance once facing this horrible reality, are lucky to now be safe in short-term foster care. Thanks to the generosity of donors, two more precious lives have now been spared.
Now healthy and feeling cared for Billy and Chance are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
