Sick, frail, and yet possessing an indomitable will to live, a 7-month-old goat with a seeming “sixth sense” for direction was found running along a busy road just miles from Farm Sanctuary after escaping from a slaughterhouse in nearby Newfield, New York.

Why did this chicken cross the road? No one’s quite sure, but she must have traveled far to get to the suburban backyard in Carmichael, California where two young animal-loving siblings named Daniel (age 13) and Emma (age 10) Mecham found her wandering around.

When an animal control officer found Zoop on a cold morning in Denville, New Jersey, the tiny goat could not walk upright or even stand comfortably.

Factory farms hide cruelty behind feel-good ads. See what real happy farm animals look like in these show-stopping sanctuary photos.
