Animal Sanctuary Poem Week: Day 4

Hillside Animal Sanctuary

Frettenham, Norfolk

Wendy Valentine’s amazing

Her firey compassion don’t stop blazing.

Her sanct’ry is home to many a horse,

It goes without saying, she’s vegan of course!

There’s chickens and ducks and budgies and turkeys,

And sheep and cows and llamas and donkeys.

There’s rabbits and emus, alpacas and deer,

There’s even some chipmunks and goats live here.

But rescuing’s not all that Hillside does,

They also investigate farms because

They need to make public the horror that’s hidden

Behind the farm gates of those animal prisons.

❤ 🙂 ❤

Hillside is now home to over 3000 animals and is one of the UK’s most successful campaigning organisations for the animals’ cause.  They have always known that one of the main reasons animals are left to suffer in factory farms is because people have little or no idea about the immense cruelty involved in their food production.

    I think this is the sanctuary were the cows from that farmer who switched to veganic farming went to, isn’t it?

    Wendy Valentine is indeed amazing! I’m a long time supporter of Hillside. It’s a bit far for me to visit, but the photos tell the tale of completely contented and wonderfully cared for animals of all shapes and sizes. Thanks again x

      It is an absolutely wonderful place – if you ever feel like going the distance, they have a holiday house you can rent 🙂

    Thank you for telling us about these places, Violet. Norfolk is not too far from us and my daughter lives in Sussex. We may visit…

      I highly recommend it. I’ve been to Hillside a couple of times and it’s so lovely. I haven’t been to the others yet but they’re not far from me so I hope to soon 🙂
