hello paige
wow im 17 and ever since i was young i loved animals

. i use to rescue rabbits and rats when i was young and re-home them. when i was 13 i started rescuing livestock. now im 17 and have around 120 animals in care atm.
i have to admitt it kinda sucked when i was younger, my family history is of butchers, farmers ( beef, dairy, sheep ) and sadley slaughter workers and owners of slaughterhouses. i was the first one to break the cycle. Me and my sis are veg, with my youngest sister not to far off, she only eats chicken atm but she wanted to watch earthlings on thursday - i watched it with her ( she is 12 ) and thank god she think fishing is cruel now, but she wasnt to impresed about how chooks are raised. My pop use to run a large slaughterhouse that supplied all the hastings area with its meat. he always raised me to belive that this is normal and animals are here to feed us. one day i saw a sheep been slaughted when i was 13, after that day no more meat for me

. mum and dad thought i would get over it but im stilll veg today

.
i love rescuing animals from my local area, its so rewarding to see them back to health enjoying life

.
currently i have - 3 sheep ( dorper cross wiltshire)
- 1 pig ( miniture - the sheep and the pig are best firends )
- 2 horses ( arabian dirivative and riding pony )
