Today, I Give Thanks...
For the prospect of hope and the nerve to dream of a world with less violence and hate.
Mandy, Baby Noah, Isaiah, Rebekkah, Cleveland
I give thanks for those who sleep safely... Pulled from a puppy mill, rescued from floodwaters, claimed from death row, and saved from
the streets. For their bottomless love, left in whispers and wet kisses.
Today I give thanks for the recognition of life in vacant eyes. For infinite food left in ravaged cities and the glimmer of water in countless
pans. I thank their rescuers and recall untold mercy, selfless and vast.
Today I give thanks for the promise of a warm lap, despite hurricanes and floods. And I look to a world where laws can change. Where
empathy prevails... And hope rebounds in the eyes of each animal.
Today, I give thanks to all of you!

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.
WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
- Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
- Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.

A Thanksgiving Homecoming
FROM: The Gentle Barn
EDITED FOR LENGTH
While rescuing this year's Thanksgiving turkeys (we saved the last four), we couldn't help but notice the horrific conditions
in which the other
animals lived. Unable to stomach what we saw, we came home with two of the ten cows in the worst shape�and pregnant.
When they got to The Gentle Barn, one of the cows seemed inconsolably distraught. She tried to get out of the pen, paced,
sweated, and
mooed as though screaming for someone. Throughout the first night, she kept crying out, barely pausing to take a breath.
At first, we thought her stress was from missing the animals she'd left behind or feeling unsure in her new surroundings. By
morning, when
her cries had not stopped, we realized something worse was going on. We also noticed her utter was full now and she was
expressing milk.
When we called back to the place we rescued her from, our fears were confirmed. She'd been separated from her calf, and her
baby was to be
sold that day�for slaughter. We demanded they release the baby to us, knowing this cow would otherwise die of heartbreak�and
they
agreed�small miracles!
Back at The Gentle Barn with the calf, his mom heard his voice and practically broke through the pasture fencing to get to
him. When we led
her tiny baby to her, the calf collapsed on the ground. As mama licked him and nuzzled him with the gentlest touch, he got
up. While her baby
nursed, for the first time in 12 hours, the mom let out a long moo, like the biggest sigh of relief. Now that her baby is
with her, she hasn't
made a single sound. She is happy and at peace, and the two will never be separated again.
The place has been cited and is in the process of being shut down � but there are still seven cows we're desperately trying
to get out, before
they are slaughtered. There are two pregnant cows, one with a calf, and four calves who have been weaned. We need to raise
$5,000 to save
them, transport them to The Gentle Barn, and welcome them into our program � teaching people kindness and compassion to
animals. Please
help us get them out before it's too late�No amount is too small! What a great holiday gift for yourself or someone you love.

cows.
