I just read about a baby calf that was rescued this week by an organization called Farm Sanctuary. It makes me think a lot of the problems in our society boil down to $$
The male calf—no more than a week old—was found in the middle of a field to die, in plain view from the road. Barely breathing and non-responsive, the sick calf was immediately seized and taken to a Santa Cruz veterinarian, where he was treated for a severe navel infection. According to Santa Cruz Animal Services, if the calf hadn’t been seized so quickly, he would have died within five or six hours. The calf’s mother was seized the following day after veterinarians determined that the newborn’s recovery depended on her. When asked why he didn’t seek help for the calf, the animal’s owner said, “The calf is only worth $5, so why would I pay to treat it?” On Monday, the mother and calf arrived at Farm Sanctuary’s California Shelter for special care and safe refuge.
