Download Animal Camp: Lessons in Love and Hope from Rescued Farm Animals AudioBook Free
Heartwarming stories of rescued plantation animals from the writer of Where the Blind Horse Sings. Picking right up where she remaining off in Where the Blind Horse Sings, Kathy Stevens regales us with more tales of the rescued family pets at Catskill Creature Sanctuary (CAS), some touching, some entertaining, all provocative. We meet Barbie, the broiler hen found hiding under a blue Honda in Brooklyn who comes for the animal ambassador Rambo, a ram memory with an uncanny sense of what others need. Then there's Norma Rae, the turkey rescued from a "turkey bowl" just before Thanksgiving. Additionally, there is Noah, a 21-year-old stallion, starved and locked in a dark stall for his life time until he came to the basic safety and plenty of CAS. Claude, the large pink free-range pig, is but another of the "underfoot family", those who roam the barnyard, free and with dignity, interacting with their own and other species in startling and profound ways. The love Stevens has for these family pets, and the amount of love they give her in exchange, is stunning and can make any listener more thoughtful of how exactly we treat a complete class of family pets in this country. Pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, horses, goats, sheep, and more, march into CAS and into our hearts even as learn about their quirks and personalities and what makes us human.
