The Golden Rule

When you visit our Sanctuary, please keep in mind that this is not a petting zoo.  In fact, here we would like to offer a shift in perspective.  One where the animals who live here are not here for us, nor do they serve a purpose for us.  We do not force them to behave in ways unnatural for them or take from them.  We are often asked why we have them.  Why do we have chickens if we don’t eat eggs?  Why do we have turkeys if we don’t eat them?  What do we DO with the alpacas?  Do we milk them?  Do we eat them?  The answer is simply that they are here for themselves.  To live their lives just like you and me.  This is their home and a safe space where they are treated as we would wish to be treated in our own home; with respect, care, love and kindness.  When visitors come into our space we do visit the animals but ask that visitors listen carefully to us, be kind and gentle with the animals and above all, respect their space and wishes.  Not all animals enjoy being touched or even the company of humans and we do not push this on them.  For the comfort and safety of the animals and visitors please remember that they all have different personalities, desires, history and needs.  We will share their stories with you and ask that while you are here please try to see things from their viewpoint and follow the golden rule:
​
“Treat others as you would wish to be treated.”
