Huxley and Nyles were rescued from the heartbreaking fate that most male calves born on dairy farms face: the “bobby” truck.
Huxley and Nyles were born into this world as the byproduct of their mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more, a future uncertain.
Just like humans, female cows need to give birth to produce milk. As a result, each year in Australia, over 400,000 calves are born on dairy farms and are deemed as “waste” or “surplus”.
Male calves are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life, as they offer little financial gain to a farmer, as they cannot be used for future breeding or milk production.
This is the heartbreaking reality faced by thousands of calves during calving season, day in and day out, on dairy farms across Australia.
Fate had different plans for Huxley and Nyles. Rescued by our team, they were no longer facing a grim reality.
Huxley and Nyles 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, Huxley and Nyles are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
