When Climate Change Comes for Your Farm Animal Sanctuary Family
What I did in June 2024... I helped drive one of two converted school buses filled with farm sanctuary animals across country from Oregon to Maine. Ta-da. Boom. Drop mic. OK, I was rather proud of myself for hearing the call to adventure, rejecting the call to adventure, accepting the call to adventure.
I drove a bus containing 110 birds while a second bus in our little sanctuary caravan had 20 sheep, a llama and an alpaca. The owners of the sanctuary, Morriplum Farm Sanctuary, saw the writing on the wall on their Oregon property. The climate is changing so their property didn't leave the hope that it would be sustainable in the future for their animals, who are part of their family.
I've written the first two parts of this journey on Medium.com, how and why I got involved in this and what is happening along the way. Here is the link to Part 1 and the just uploaded Part 2. And the third and final part is percolating. Oh yes, the words are swirling in my head and are about to form, hopefully into cohesive sentences.
In Part 2, I talk about the silence of the birds. So I leave you with this moment of zen. No squawking. You can almost hear the nothing, can't you?
