Some animals are born and their fate is sealed.
This is the case for male calves, for example, which are of no interest to the dairy industry or the beef market.
The bull Salvador also belongs in the „unwanted“ category from the moment he is born.
But thanks to some very special people, his story is not over yet.
Male calves usually have a sad fate
Salvador is of no interest to the dairy industry because of his gender.
Conventional livestock farming gives him two chances: he is killed immediately after birth or he is kept alive until an interesting price can be obtained from the butcher.
Salvador’s owners choose the second option for him. They separate him from his mother immediately after birth and give him four months to fatten up.
The aim behind this is clear: Salvador should gain a lot of weight before he is sent to the slaughterhouse.
Movement and exercise are of course a hindrance to this and so the bull has to live in a square box measuring around 180 cm.
This is clearly a case of animal cruelty
When volunteers from the NGO „AnimalLibre“ find Salvador, the poor calf is already half-dead. It is lying in its droppings and urine, suffering from fever and diarrhea, and has several infections ..
The volunteers also noticed malnutrition and realized that the calf had to get out of here as quickly as possible, so they took it straight to theEquality Sanctuaryfor rehabilitation.
„They try to breathe life back into the dying body, even its soul seemed to be completely broken“,
is how Epic-interesting describes it.
Salvador seems very anxious, as if he had already finished with his life.
But the sight of the large, green farm seemed to revive his spirits.
After six months, he has become a new bull
You can clearly see that in the video.
He is no longer locked up, he is allowed to live in the pasture, relax and just be a bull.
Despite his abusive past, he has not lost his trust in people – on the contrary, he cuddles with his rescuers. It is a touching sight to see him snuggle up to his human friend.
He also gets on wonderfully with his animal companions.
Salvador has found his ultimate happiness on the farm.
