We have heartbreaking news to share with you. After unexpectedly going into labor early Christmas morning, Grace struggled all day as she was in no condition to be giving birth. By evening what little energy she did have had completely left her, forcing us to intervene and assist in delivering the first baby. When the first baby finally entered the world it was already dead. The vet then arrived to help her deliver two more babies, but they were also already dead. We placed the babies on a towel next to her head and she licked them, acknowledging what had happened. Although we were devastated that the babies hadn’t survived we felt so thankful that Grace was still with us, but just a few hours later she took a serious turn for the worse and within minutes she too was gone. We were with her right up until the end and we never stopped holding her tightly and telling her how much everyone loved her. Grace entered our lives as quickly as she left, but we feel privileged to have had the chance to show her what real love feels like. To ease her pain with proper medical treatments, to calm her when she was stressed, and to hold her as her life slipped away. Here is the last video we made of Grace with her babies. It is heartbreaking to see, but this is the reality of life at the sanctuary, and the life of farm animals that have been mercilessly exploited. Grace was used her entire life, her babies were stolen from her year after year, and when she was deemed no longer useful she was thrown away. Grace’s story is just one of the millions of reasons why we should stop using animals for our own gain. She didn’t deserve the cruel life or death that was inflicted upon her. Goodnight Grace, and your three perfect little babies. At least now you can finally be together. We will always love you and we will never forget you
