Edgar's Mission Blog

Five chickens with disabilities have truly landed on their feet with doting human Victoria.

We are delighted to announce the launch our all new website! Read on to learn all about the different sections and features.

What we do see varies from person to person based on experiences, beliefs, values, education, circumstance, culture, physical abilities, prejudices and more. You see, nothing is as it seems. To see with a clear heart and open mind is indeed the vanguard of our most noble self.

A speech by Edgar’s Mission Founder and Director Pam Ahern. Dedicated to Tommy and all animals who will never know kindness.

It is a convenient unexamined thought that labels the animals who are farmed for food and fibre as “farm animals”.

Recorded in 1967, the Bee Gees hit song “Words” reflected what one of the Gibb brothers described as the ability of words to “make you happy or sad”.

A question I am often asked is: “How do you find the animals who come to Edgar’s Mission?” The short answer is: I don’t.

They find us.

“Take nothing but memories.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.”

As I sit here to type, my thoughts and gaze are hijacked by a slight whooping sound that is coming from beneath my desk. It is a sound I am all too familiar with when I don this position.

Today, as Baarack stands tall atop the grassy field of Edgar’s Mission, he too stands as a beacon of hope. His life, now made bright by the kindness of a stranger, is all he and we could have ever dreamt it to be. His body no longer is burdened by his overgrown fleece, his vision no more is blocked by wool and painful grass seeds, and his hunger and thirst no more are wanting.
