Joaquim

The countless calves given birth in the dairy industry are disposable, and with Joaquim it would be no different.

As soon as it was born, it would be killed or placed in a bag, with its head out, tied up and left in a place where a truck passes by to collect these discarded calves. They are then sold for up to R$50.00 in the interior as if they were “things”.

We rescued Joaquim at 1 day old, alone, helpless and away from the mother he never even met!
