One spring day we received a call from the Verein gegen Tierfabriken. We were told that cattle had been found in a barn with the chains already grown into the flesh. These animals were now to be emergency slaughtered. The association wants to prevent this and save the animals, but what is still missing is a suitable place where they can be cared for. After consultation with the colleagues, who immediately started with the preparations, Michael Aufhauser contacted the responsible animal welfare activists: "The five animals are coming to us. The trailer is already on its way. We have already prepared a place for them," and on the same day August, Auguste, Oliver, Martin and Leonardo were allowed to move in and their injuries were treated.
