A new trend has been observed in animal shelters in Latvia – during the last six months, several farm animals – goats, rams and rabbits – have come here, the program “900 Seconds” reported.
According to the shelter management, people’s actions are often very irresponsible.
For example, several of the rabbits were simply thrown in a waste container in Purvciems.
Four goats have been staying at the Ulubele Shelter for two weeks now. At the end of August, news was received that five goats live in the Rumbula small garden area without supervision for several days, says Ilze Džonsone, the head of the animal shelter “Ulubele”. By the time he arrived, one was already dead.

One goat was absolutely tangled on a leash near a gnawed tree and was in critical condition. Now, fortunately, it has recovered. These animals will not return to the small gardens.
During the last six months, eight goats have arrived at Ulubele.
The first goat was found on Jaunciema gatve street. In addition, she turned out to be expecting babies. In July, this goat, named Lady Gaga, also welcomed two kids.
The shelter staff has learned to milk, and milk is given to two kids because the Lady refused to feed them herself.
There are more and more farm animals, so the help of volunteers is very much needed.
