Ambassadors for Change: MFA Rescues Four Lucky Calves

Nathan Runkle June 1, 2011

CNN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell recently featured an interview with MFA’s Executive Director Nathan Runkle about the rescue of four calves from the E6 Cattle Company in Texas.

An MFA undercover investigation into E6 revealed workers bashing in the skulls of calves with pickaxes and hammers, dragging them by their ears, throwing them, and neglecting them to die from illness and injury without veterinary care.

The lucky survivors, who have been named Roy, Ari, Bob and Mercy, are now out of harm’s way and recovering at The Gentle Barn farmed animal sanctuary in California. The Gentle Barn is currently home to 130 animals, all rescued from severe abuse, neglect or slaughter.
Once animals have been rehabilitated, they stay at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives and serve as ambassadors for change, helping to heal abused children.
