Fighting fit, full of personality and the sweetest little heart mark, this trio are sure to melt your heart.
Moe, Hartley and Harry were born into this world as the byproduct of their mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more.
Male calves are often “disposed of” on dairy farms 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 thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.
Moe, Hartley and Harry were rescued with two other calves. Heartbreakingly this group were in poor condition our Foster Carer reported, “Getting them into the trailer was pretty easy – they really had no energy. Getting home and into a warm stable was what they needed.”
In the dairy industry, calves are often taken from their mothers within mere days of their birth so that their mother can get back to milk production. The milk that is meant for them, is taken and sold to humans as a commodity.
This separation is not only traumatic to their mental well-being but also their physical well-being as they are unable to receive the vital nutrients from their mothers’ milk.
Moe, the smallest of the group, suddenly began to deteriorate. After vet intervention, he improved for a few days, only to begin to deteriorate again.
t was concluded he had a very server case of Ileus, Cryptoridium and his left lung had Pneumonia. This little boy was fighting multiple life-threatening illnesses.
As the weeks passed by, Moe’s condition began to improve and he soon returned home for quarantine before he was reunited with his foster brothers. A moment so precious it brought tears to our team’s eyes.
Now all healthy and feeling cared for, Moe, Hartley and Harry are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
The ideal home for Moe, Hartley and Harry is one that has good fencing to keep them secure, a shelter to keep them warm and dry, paddocks of pasture to graze upon and a family to give them the love they deserve.
