Have you seen Berleen?
Less than two weeks before Berleen, a 400-pound pig was scheduled to travel to a farm animal sanctuary in Manitoba, she disappeared from the farm where she had been staying in the Cowichan Valley.
Berleen香蕉视频直播檚 trip to Kismet Creek Farm in Steinbach, Manitoba, where she would have lived out her days happily, was scheduled for Aug. 22, but she suddenly vanished from Lee Schroeder香蕉视频直播檚 property in Cobble Hill earlier this week.
香蕉视频直播淭he property is fully fenced,香蕉视频直播� Schroeder said. 香蕉视频直播淚 have checked all the fences and there香蕉视频直播檚 no place she could get out. I have a feeling someone has stolen her from the property.香蕉视频直播�
Schroeder developed an attachment to Berleen and is worried about her.
香蕉视频直播淪he is such a sweetheart, loves cuddles, and it was arranged that she would be going to [Manitoba] to live out the rest of her life there. I miss her so much. My husband Wayne Clark and I would like to see her back and then she could go to her forever home where pigs need to be and not eaten.香蕉视频直播�
Berleen has a birthmark on the right side of her face and a fatty lump about the size of the palm of a hand on her upper backside.
A local farmer had surrendered Berleen to Schroeder earlier this year while PEACE (People Ensuring Animal Care Exists) searched for a no-kill home for her. There wasn香蕉视频直播檛 any room at sanctuaries in B.C. or Alberta at the time, so PEACE expanded the search to Manitoba, where they found a home at Kismet Creek. She was set to travel there with other animals later this month.
香蕉视频直播淏ecause it香蕉视频直播檚 a long trip, we needed time to plan for it,香蕉视频直播� PEACE co-founder and president Sarien Slabbert explained.
According to Slabbert, Berleen is an infertile sow, which in most cases would have meant she was destined for slaughter, but the farmer who owned her didn香蕉视频直播檛 want that to happen, which is why she was surrendered to Schroeder.
In a Facebook post, Kismet Creek Farm also expressed its dismay at Berleen香蕉视频直播檚 disappearance.
香蕉视频直播淲e are devastated that she香蕉视频直播檚 gone missing and we are hoping she will be found safe so she can get the happy ending she deserves,香蕉视频直播� the sanctuary said.
