On April 22, 2019, someone found a calf in terrible condition. She was malnourished and covered in lice and wounds. She was taken to Life With Pigs Farm Animal Sanctuary in Williamsburg, Virginia where she was named Sophie. There she was bottle-fed and received veterinary care, and the vet confirmed that she must have been neglected in order to end up in such conditions.

On May 7, 2019, the sanctuary was raided by Baltimore County Police who took Sophie away in a rope lasso. She was returned to the very farm where she was neglected and possibly abused, and where she’d inevitably be slaughtered. The farm, Braglio Farms in Woodstock, Maryland not only refuses to give up Sophie so that she may live a better life, but they’ve threatened the owner of the sanctuary with violence.

As seen in the video, the sanctuary has had to take safety precautions. Despite all this, they are especially worried about Sophie. They’ve posted on their Facebook account that the police is accusing them of acting like terrorists for trying to help Sophie. They don’t even demand that Sophie return them, just that she is sent to any sanctuary where she will be well cared for.

Sophie should be in a sanctuary. All animals deserve the right to live, but it’s also clear that this farm has already neglected Sophie before and she is at risk there. Sign this petition to save Sophie from slaughter and demand that she be sent to a sanctuary.
