Ignorance is bliss! With no idea that they were about to be slaughtered, but survive anyway, four goats named Clover, Albie, Rugstar, and Ferd got off a red ride to their new spacious home at the farm.
A little bit hard-headed, Ferd did not want to leave the cozy car, but the humans told him to go with the other goats.
Clover, on the other hand, was first to go out of the car and go to their new home where he immediately relished in fresh, green grass.
The goats were not camera shy, and were even photo bombing in the video from Dodo.
Albie, who lost a leg, was still full of energy as he explored the farm. Now in good hands, Albie has a sad past.
In 2007, Albie escaped from a slaughter house and found his way to the Brooklyn branch of Animal Care and Control, who contacted Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary about a young goat found wandering in Prospect Park.
Albie was underweight, undernourished and infected with Orf, a condition in which lesions cover the mouth and nose, making it painful to eat. His left leg and hoof were infected and sensitive to the touch. Albie's caretakers believe that the goat's legs may have been hogtied. Tying an animal's legs tightly together is a routine way of transporting young goats intended for meat. The lack of circulation caused a large portion of his hoof to come off, exposing soft tissue that was very painful to walk on.
After being cared for some time at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, Albie recovered from mouth sores. However, his hoof problem was so severe. It was beyond medical expertise. Albie's hoof was later on amputated.
While tale of his leg was a sad one, Albie was able to recover and still enjoy life.
