Failed backyard farms lead to growing number of homeless animals
As more urbanites abandon their attempts at homesteading, farm animal sanctuaries are feeling the crunch and animals are suffering.in which hipsters continue to destroy Everything
Ugh, why am I not surprised. I knew so many people in college who had or wanted to raise chickens in their backyards. I’m like, you know a chicken can live 10 years or more, right?
you perfect creature let me love you and hold and kiss you
I wanna kiss her lil belly
Sometimes when things are just too cute, it makes me want to physically suffocate and pulverize them with my love. WHY DO I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE YOU SO HARD THAT YOU SOMEHOW BECOME INCORPORATED INTO MY BODY?!

6 Little Known Facts About American Bison
by Judith Kohler, NWF
1) Bison are North America’s largest land animals. Mature bulls weigh up to 2,000 pounds and mature cows as much as 1,000 pounds.
2) A bison stands 6 – 6.5 feet tall and 10 – 12.5 feet long.
3) A bison’s hump is composed of muscle, supported by long vertebrae. It allows the animal to use its head to plow through snow.
4) Most of the 500,000 or so bison nationwide are raised as livestock on ranches. About 30,000 are managed for conservation in private and public herds.
5) Fossils and accounts from early travelers show that Yellowstone National Park is the only place in the U.S. where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times.
6) The Yellowstone herd is one of the few that remains genetically free of cattle genes.

My mom’s friend adopted this lovely dog after he was abandoned by his previous family. His name is Shaun. Shaun had always been very good at eating all his food. Every last bit that was, he ate it. One day he started leaving a little bit behind. He wouldn’t eat everything, no matter what. He always left a little behind. Every morning when my mom’s friend checked Shaun’s bowl, the food was gone. That was very strange, because Shaun always spent the night by her side.
One night she decided to investigate the food situation. She waited quietly by the food bowl and then, in the middle of the night, a cat came through the window and ate the remaining food. She noticed the cat was actually pregnant. A week or so later the cat came into her house and gave birth to 6 little kittens. Shaun took care of them as if they were his own babies. My mom’s friend adopted the cat too (her name is Meow) and they took care of the kittens until they all found a loving home. Nowadays Meow and Shaun live happily together as a family and they each have their little bowl of food.
