  • An exposé of UK petting farms with Billy Thompson from The Retreat Animal Sanctuary and Jodie Barchha Lang
    Jun 17 2024

    From The Retreat website:


    "The Retreat was born in 1989 out of frustration at the way the human race treats animals. A rescue centre which would save tormented, abused, sick, injured and unwanted animals from certain death was therefore founded.

    Some of our residents include: ex-race horses, ex-riding school ponies, injured live export sheep, cows saved from slaughter, ex-petting farm goats, injured birds, ferrets, Christmas turkeys, worn-out battery hens, disabled non-releasable wildlife, fish, small domestics, old or feral and FIV cats, and dogs who have failed behaviour tests in other dog homes.

    We offer specialised care for the animals who we take in. We are a not-for-profit organisation and all the Trustees and most of the volunteers being vegan.

    All funds raised go to the welfare of the animals, being cared for. We also use the funds for The Retreat's facilities and where possible, animals are re-homed in permanent, loving homes.

    The Retreat operates a genuine no-kill policy.

    Our site accommodates our main rescue centre and, wildlife hospital to deal with most animal intakes and emergencies, together with our permanent horses, cows and sheep residents.

    ​​

    We now have ample room to care for more animals, our intensive and equine re-homing centre, along with care-for-life wildlife and exotics.

    The number of animals being cared for by The Retreat is over 1,000 at any one time."
