We were called by a woman who had witnessed a petting farm where a pig was unable to stand and nurse her babies, dead bunnies were left in a pen, and a dead sheep lay where this little lamb, and many more lived. All the lambs had diarrhea and some, like this one, weren't standing.

The woman was horrified. She picked up the little baby and walked out - hoping no one would see. She took the lamb to a vet and called us. 

Daddy's Little Girl...Mark Steinway, co-founder of Pasado's, became the light of Lambchop's eye. She'd only take a bottle from
him.

How can anyone eat lamb? It simply amazes us that people can forget the living creature behind their meal. After meeting Lambchop, and finding out how any animal can be like a dog or cat if raised like one, we could never see such a thing on a plate - as dinner.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lambs can tell the difference between a photograph of a sheep and a photograph of a human. They can also separate photographs of sheep from goats and some can even tell the difference between the face of a ram and the face of a ewe. 

A mother sheep and her lamb share a very close relationships. 

Lambs can become very attached to people too. If a human hangs a piece of his or her clothing outside, the lamb will run to it for safety if scared. 

Just like humans, sheep parents act to ensure that their offspring play with
others their own age. Parents threaten or attack older animals who attempt to play with their youngsters! 

Lambs learn which foods are preferable by observing their mothers. They retain the knowledge for life, and have been shown to utilize it even after not having encountered specific foods for years. 

Sheep have been known to help blind sheep around by nudging them with their shoulders. 

Grazing sheep are good for wildlife because grazing sheep help other plants to grow that deer and elk like to eat. 

Sheep (like cows) can remember events for at least 3 years and will avoid people or  areas associated with unpleasant experiences.

Millions of lambs are slaughtered in the United States every year. A pregnant ewe is usually slaughtered after she has produced three to five lambs. She is killed without stunning. Instead, she is pinned to the slaughterhouse floor by workers, her throat slashed and her head twisted off. The carcass is then hoisted for skinning.
