I'm putting this in the "animals in need" category, because
ALL farm animals are in need of their caregivers' developing an "exit strategy" in emergencies. (
Really insightful of the Toronto Star to publish this.):
Also, note ALL farms: small farms, sanctuaries, hobby farms all need "succession plans" for their actual rescues too - not just to deal with safety emergencies, but also to deal with any catastrophic event -- like caregiver illness/death -- farms MUST have a plan for the ongoing care of their animals. Please think on this, and get it onto the calendar as a must-do this year!
