Siobhan and Pete Poole take in abandoned or abused
animals at their small rural property, southwest of Stratford
(Ontario, Canada).
The animals that make it to the Pooles' farm are
lucky. it's the animal version of winning the lottery.

Siobhan and one of the
supporters feeding the goats.
When rescued by Animal Outreach, these goats were
described as "of the pygmy variety" and kept in rabbit cages. Once
free and properly fed, they grew and grew. |

The way the Pooles think all farm animals should
live - free to roam around.

The
Pooles spend about $5,000. a year of their own money feeding and
caring for the animals. Sponsorships and donations are always
appreciated.
Large animals (goats, sheep or pigs) cost from
$240 to $360 per year to keep.
Smaller ones (chickens or
turkeys) between $60. and $120.
