KINSHIP CIRCLE PRIMARY – PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST AS WRITTEN

8/3/08: From Research To Ranch – Help Make A Miracle!

NO PHOTOS IN THIS ALERT ARE THE ACTUAL SHEEP. Photos of the laboratory sheep will only be released after their relocation to Kindness Ranch.

Kinship Circle Primary is not a rescue list. And the release of eight sheep from a research lab does not constitute disaster aid. Yet we consider any lives spared from animal experimentation to be of monumental import. We were asked to network for travel and funds — so 8 sheep may leave a Calif. laboratory to begin new lives at Kindness Ranch in Wyoming. Please support this miracle by donating to their relocation and care. Kinship Circle

From Karen Straight, Director of Outreach, The Kindness Ranch: We need your support to raise funds critical to the transportation of these sheep. If we can get all eight to Kindness Sanctuary, they’ll spend the rest of their lives in comfort at our ranch. We have 1,000 acres, with excellent fencing and water supply.

Please check out photos here: www.kindnessranch.org
