Wandering aimlessly among the alleyways and busy streets of Brooklyn, NY, Joey, a young floppy-eared goat around six months old, easily stood out to passersby.

In early October 2006, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City was alerted to a case of animal neglect in a Brooklyn garage.

In October 2003, Farm Sanctuary was alerted to a tragic case of severe farm animal cruelty. San Diego Animal Control Officers arrived on the property of a man suspected of buying and reselling diseased and wounded stockyard animals for profit.

SPCA Animal Cruelty Officer, Scott Mazzo, first investigated the property of Ernesto Diaz after receiving a complaint from a humane agency in another New York county where Mr. Diaz had brought chickens to sell.

Though every step pained him, Sprout seemed to know that each one also brought him closer to sanctuary.

In the fall of 2002, a caring citizen reported that he found a goat hanging dead in the fence of a Wisconsin farm.

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.

Dino came from a home in Brooklyn, New York. He spent the first five or more years of his life tied to a doghouse on a concrete driveway.
