 Nice to meet you. Hello. I think everyone's here. Hello. Check out the family. Whoa. Gotta be careful of some of these little mischievous goats. He can get it. I can see you. All right, here we are at Green Apache's Animal Sanctuary. We're here to meet the animals. Hey mate. He sort of nips you when he bites your clothes, hey. That's my new mate. Have a look at this chicken. It's the coolest chicken I've ever seen. He's a rooster. Yeah, yeah. So there's another one in there. I have to let them out on alternate days because they fight each other. Roosters. Boys will be boys. Yep, exactly right. They never behave. So this is Rachel and you are the. I'm the owner and founder of Green Apache's Sanctuary. Wow. How many animals do you have here? We have about 130 now. Wow, lots of work? A lot. Yes, more than full time. More than full time. Wow. And what do we have in here? So we're just going to go see the foxes. We've got two rescued foxes who are founders orphans and we built them an enclosure and, you know, we keep them in here and look after them and give them lots of love. Let's meet them. She does walk on a harness but if she gets away, it freaks me out a bit because people bait and shoot her out here. You like my watch? Be careful. Watch your purse. Get your vegan jerky. Yeah. Go on. It's vegan, folks. Vegan jerky. Yum. I love all animals but something about pigs, they just make me warm and fuzzy. Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy loves the belly. Hey, Jimmy. You want a belly rub? You want a belly rub? Jimmy. Oh, you've been lying in the mud. Oh, that's you. There you go. That's your spot. Is that your spot? It's all sloppy. I need a shower. Get no muddy. So Jimmy was found next to his dead mom. His mom had been shot found in a national park. They do catch them and they shift them to different areas so they can shoot them. It's for fun, basically. Yeah. Oh, well, luckily Jimmy had a good outcome, yeah? Definitely, yeah. He is one lucky pig. Okay, so here we've got a next. Wombat. Hello Wombat. She jumped out of a transport truck and landed on her head on her face but she tried to save herself and it worked. How lucky is Wombat? So we put these beautiful animals in a position where they have to try to escape and jump out of trucks and now look. Now look at Wombat. Second chance. Beautiful mud pool. It looks really cool in there. Maybe I might hop in with it. Like a spa bath. On second thoughts, maybe I'll give it a miss. You're a beautiful girl. She's going down. She's going down. Oh, she's going down. Is this your favorite? Is this your favorite? Oh, you've got a lot of belly to rub. Look at your face. Look at that face. Oh, you're so beautiful. Everyone come give a belly rub for her. I should be a pig massage therapist. You're a beautiful girl, aren't you? Jimmy, are you getting belly scratches? Oh, Jimmy. Hey, wait a second. Aren't you Jimmy too? Jimmy? Do you want to scratch my belly as well? Yeah, give Jimmy a belly scratch. Who's this, Eve? You've got the same color hair. He was too noisy for suburbia, so people get them and they don't factor in that they're going to be crowing, not just in the morning, but all hours. Why did you call him tiny? Because he's huge. I thought it would be ironic. Oh, tiny. Yeah, but huge in attitude. Little bird, big attitudes. He means business. Don't mess with him. All these individual animals are so unique in their personalities and they all have a different story, so let's go see some more. Blossom's a mini pig. Look how mini she is. They go from between 80 and 150 kilos and the problem with people getting mini pigs is they think they're going to be these tiny little pigs and then they grow up and then they get rid of them, hey? I think this poo is indicative of the animals that are in here. Looks like horse. These horses are a lot of them rescued from horse racing? Yeah, a lot of them are from racing and some competition horses as well. So their fate if you don't rescue them? Was a bullet. A bullet. Yeah, every one of them was saved from a bullet. Wow. We've got the Melbourne Cup coming up in Australia. It's probably one of the biggest horse races in Australia. Yeah, there's no retirement plan for race horses. So people ask me, is horse racing cruel? Well, they all get killed. They all go to the knackery, they all get shot in the head and they all end up either as dog food or sold off as some exotic meat. Yep, exactly right, yeah. Hello. Oh, wow. Oh, this one's really friendly. Here's another one over here. Look at your beautiful face. Giving me a pat. Oh, God. Giving me a pat. I've just realized something. Jimmy that we were talking to before, Jimmy the pig, is named after James Aspie. How's that? That's why he's so good looking. They're all coming in for the pats. This is Pip. She likes to smell my hair. Oh, Ollie. What's that all about, mate? Now, I didn't think this was possible, but I'm pretty sure the pig, Jimmy, is even better looking than the real James. See, horses are always branded. This is a fire. Brand hurts more. So branding horses is a way of identifying them as their properties. And animals can't be anyone's property. They exist for their own rights. Well, who's this coming over to us? This is Baloo. Baloo? Yeah, Baloo is a bobby calf. A bobby calf? He was rescued from a dairy down south. He was 24 hours old when we got him. Him and his brothers, they were in a bad way. The industry standard now is they only have to be fed once every 24 hours. Yeah. So they end up really dehydrated and sick. They either kill them on their first day of life or they let them, they sometimes grow them for real, yeah? Yeah. So if they've got enough to warrant putting them on a truck to go to the slaughterhouse, they will. But there was only the three of these guys. So he was just going to shoot them on site. Oh, you like the taste of my microphone. So this is the reality of drinking milk eating cheese. These ones here, this is a happy story. They're rescued and they get to live out their lives on this farm. But majority of bobby calves and all cows in the dairy industry are all sent to the beef industry. They're all killed. So you're in the cowfield. Watch out for the surprises. This one means business, eh? A beautiful girl. Look how, look at those beautiful horns. So this property here was a beef farm. Okay. The farmer was retiring and there was a few cows left behind. Okay. That had not been sent off to the slaughterhouse yet. So we managed to rescue them and one of them was heavily pregnant and a month after we moved in she gave birth to a calf. And what was her fate to go to the abattoir? To the abattoir heavily pregnant. And so she's got her baby now and it's the first baby she's ever been allowed to keep. Wow. What a story. So she was going to get killed with a baby in her stomach but they both survived. Thousands and thousands of cows are killed while still pregnant. I guess when you see cows inside like a dairy or a farm they're a little bit more timid because they've just haven't been treated the best. But even just naturally they're just peaceful animals. And we herd them into these abattoirs and kill them which is so morally wrong. If you could see the size of this one. This is Harry. Harry just looks like he's a very good looking man. So big too. So big. Like he's this tall. Isha. He doesn't like pats. Harry doesn't really like pats but beautiful big majestic gentle beings. When I see cows in a slaughterhouse truck about to be slaughtered or in a dairy farm or in captivity tied up they always have these tears running down their eyes and I was just asking Rachel if they if she sees her cows tearing out their eyes. No I've never noticed it. I personally think they're crying because they're expressing emotion and tears are you know a natural part of expressing emotion for us like so I think cows act in a similar way. You could definitely do more research into it but I would say that that could be true. They have emotions just like us. I got a kiss. Want to have another one? What's your horns? I might get the kiss of death from the horn. It just feels really good to see cows like actually happy and I think it's what I needed to come down here to the sanctuary after you know witnessing four cows being slaughtered in front of my face. I think this is just what I needed to see that there is some light through all of this and these cows will get to live out their life and so many more people are going vegan every single day getting messages people going vegan and the movement is growing and you know hopefully this suffering can end one day. Someone likes your bum bum. Oh oh you like the camera strap. I'm going to come home smelling like pigs like cows like all of the animals. See these bobby calves have still got their horns they just have to be a little bit careful of them but usually they get them lopped off with like these big cutting tools and they don't use anesthetic or anything it's horrible to see they burn them off too yeah. If you're still eating cows I'd invite you to come down to a sanctuary and and spend some time with them. You can really feel you look them in the eyes you can see they're just like big puppy dogs you know like they are not food cows are not food. It's going on here I caught you your camera shy your camera shy oh wow your tongue is really rough but it feels kind of good don't be jealous mate there's plenty of kisses for you too come kiss my last video was just me kissing animals and I kind of got people said you better be careful might get hurt or catch something I was like I don't care it's worth it. Here they come. Stamped. You have to be careful of Daffodil she was horny. You're a bit hungry. Can you come up to say hello Abby? Okay this is Christoph, how are you going Christoph? Very good Joey. He was rescued locally actually he was going to be someone's Christmas dinner wow his name was Christmas oh my god luckily the niece in the family is vegan and she went and nabbed him and brought him down to us that's weird Christoph you don't look like food you look like a sentient animal that's because I am one. Insight from Christoph these are the most amazing animals when you look at them over here the skin changes colour depending on his mood so he'll go whitish blue when he's excited and then bright red if he's angry wow he wears his emotions on the outside he does we know how he feels Christoph you're beautiful see look now he's blushing showing off for the ladies very handsome why don't people want roosters they're too noisy for suburbia and also they're hard to keep in groups because they fight so they're harder to harder to love roosters but they need it the most one pig amongst about 50 roosters looks after them she looks after them and takes care of their food and takes care of the actually someone's the king of Nelly now Nelly's get a belly rub okay so who's this this is Sam and he was rescued from a place where he was going to be sorted for food and he was found in the pen as a newborn piglet bound with electrical tape so his front legs back legs were bound up so he literally couldn't get up to feed from his mum so he would have laid there and died a slow death a major supermarket chain would have bought them hey yep all for a bacon sandwich this poor little innocent you know piglet tied up for no reason and look at him now loving it we should call him second chance Sam okay so we've come to the end of the day and first I want to say thank you for your hard work it's not easy running a sanctuary with so many animals in there and these things don't run themselves they can be very expensive to run can you talk through some of the costs maybe yeah so our biggest expense is probably vet bills um we're at about three and a half to four grand a month just in vet bills and then you've got feed bills maintenance bills um general care of the animals so yeah it's pretty pricey sorry we woke you up didn't we and also maybe even expanding and taking on more animals is going to cost even more money yeah yeah so we're at that point now where we have animals waiting to come but we literally have nowhere to put them okay ah really these very interesting conversations so what can people do to help um we've got a campaign at the moment called growing greener pastures okay um and you can find that on our facebook page and on our website and also donating to us or sponsor an animal um all that helps yep so i'm going to leave all the links down below where you can help these animals and if you feel like you you know you want to help or do contribute to real animals real live beings here that on this sanctuary then click the links down below and support it support this sanctuary thank you very much
