We currently have 16 rescued goats at Harmony Farm Sanctuary. Their names are Charlotte, Houdini, Bob, Hazel, Isabel, Shadow, Lulu, Sampson, Delilah, Ophella, Jane, Juniper, Vincent Van Goat, Petra, Buck and our newest rescue, Rose!
Our goats have the freedom to roam, form friendships with other goats and farm animals. They jump and play on structures, receive treats and head scratches from the volunteers and just be goats without having to do anything for anyone but themselves.
We wish all goats in the world lived this life. But the sad reality is goats farmed in America suffer the same cruel existence as other farmed animals. Their life is shortened as most are sent to slaughter within their first year of life. A large number of goats are cruelly slaughtered for halal or kosher meat. Most are kept outside subjecting them to extreme weather. Those raised for milk and cheese production are kept continuously pregnant with newborns taken away to ensure their milk is saved for human consumption or products like goat milk soap or lotion. And kid goats are subjected to torturous procedures such as disbudding and castration. Mostly done with no pain medication.
Please consider leaving goats off your plate, out of your fridge and off your bathroom shelf.
