Mozambique’s story

We All Bleed the Same Colour

Updated October 31, 2023

Bearing more than witness to the polarity of our humanity is dear Mozambique. For it was through enduring the worst of it he was to find the best of it. And therein sanctuary.

Born into an industry that viewed him as a commodity, the individual he was, had, by design, become forgotten. Separated from his mother, either through her death or misadventure, the young and vulnerable lamb had struggled and struggled.

Until he could do so no more.

Yet he remained unseen until the day he was.

Unable to physically flee the “predator” who came for him, this did not stop his mental anguish. However, once surrendered into our care and a new future became clear for him, he began to nestle into it.

Drinking up his milk and the human kindness that came with it, little Mozambique is growing stronger and more confident by the day

With his sucking reflex no more but his bodily need for milk still present, this essential nutrient was gently and expertly syringed into his wee mouth.

His ready acceptance of this told us it tasted good.

Drinking up his milk and the human kindness that came with it, little Mozambique is growing stronger and more confident by the day. Whilst bony still is his body, so much so the wind can easily topple it, he is one tough little nut that an unjust system has been unable to crack.

Whilst Mozambique’s circumstance sheds light on how poorly protected his kind are, we would do well to understand that this is only made possible by little-known Codes of Practice. These codes circumvent our better-known Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Legislation and outdated ways of thinking have repeatedly shown they cannot protect farmed animals from harm; only our personal choices can.

For a sentient being is a sentient being, regardless of form, and whilst unexamined thoughts make it easy to treat some animals differently from others, they, just like us, all bleed the same colour.

This stoic and heavily fleeced fellow had found his way into a construction area that abutted a cemetery. The magic of teamwork helped bring him to sanctuary.

Skoda, you see, is a sweet little lamb—the sweetest of sweet she is proving to be. She came to us as an orphan at around one week of age.

Life has a way of offering light, even in the darkest moments. And with this, Navara was found and brought to sanctuary

Think of resilience beyond measure, and chances are you are not thinking of a little lamb born without hooves.

Ducati’s journey began when a kind-hearted human heard the commotion made by his fall into a dam.

At just 3 hours old, little Buick is “exceptional by design”. And although his dear mumma may have not realised this, taking her preference and her milk to his sibling, we most certainly do.

In the soft light of a winter’s afternoon, a wildlife rescuer scanned the horizon for any sign of injured kangaroos. It was in this quiet, desolate landscape that SsangYong was found.

It is indeed a miracle of love that both were able to walk out of that dark and stormy night and into kindness, warmth and good nutrition.

At first glance, it was thought Elva was dead in a field. But Elva is very much alive today—and so too is her precious baby.

Renault’s survival is more than just a victory over adversity; it is a symbol of what can be achieved when love and care are extended to the most vulnerable among us.
