Richard Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Me, my brother and his girlfriend went to the new Hillside animal sanctuary which opened last weekend. The owner of the other Hillside sanctuary bought out this place which used to be a shire horse centre. Now all the shire horses are retired and the space is being used for rescued animals from slaughterhouses, or abusive owners etc. Plus it has a vegan cafe, it's a great place. It was absolutely freezing though, really windy and raining, I am still chilled after getting home. http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0162.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0164.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0165.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0166.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0168.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0169.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0170.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0171.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0174.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0175.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0176.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0192.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0197.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0198.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0199.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0200.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0201.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0202.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0204.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0207.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0211.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0218.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0219.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0237.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0242.jpg http://www.godfist.com/hillside/IMG_0246.jpg Edited March 21, 2008 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kero Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 What a lovely place and beautiful animals! Did that pig only have one eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah it seemed as though there was something wrong with one of his/her eyes - they were two different pigs, they look every similar. Most of those animals were in a pretty bad way when they came to the place, they each had posters next to them saying what they'd been through, most of them were starved and infected, it's infuriating. But great to be with those that are living a peaceful life now, and so strange that most of them are very friendly and allow you to stroke them, even after what they've been through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasha Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Very Cool Richard. Thanks for sharing these Awesome that there's a vegan cafe there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah, I never eat food while i'm out usually, but I had a sandwich, and then I ate it. I like the mugs they have there with vegan messages on them too. The whole place is very anti-farming, poster all over the place explaining why it's cruel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
