Katie Smart visits a remarkable woman who dedicates her life to saving farm animals from cruelty.
In 1990 Carole Webb set up a sanctuary to rescue abandoned or mistreated farm animals. She’s so dedicated to the well- being of her animals that they’ve taken over her income, her life and her heart.
0___ I _____
Surrounded by acres of flat land, without so much as a tree in sight, it seems cut off from the rest of humanity. Carole’s nearest neighbours are two miles away and she often goes days at a time without speaking to another person.
1________
‘The animals that arrive here are frightened and in a state of shock,’she explains. ‘But they soon change, with love and care. Animals that are often considered stupid show remarkable intelligence once they’ve got over their fear.’
2 ________
One day I noticed that one of the lambs had a broken leg. I told the farmer and asked him if he needed any help looking after sick animals. Within a couple of years I’d bought this place and set up my own sanctuary.’
3 ________
„I bottle-fed him, wrapped him up warmly next to the kitchen fire and nursed him back to health.’ He is still alive and well, although he’s getting a little bad tempered and prefers people not to go near him.’
4. ________
It’s hard to believe when you see the size of him that he was found abandoned by the side of road – cold, weak and hungry. Now he’s very much the boss in the sanctuary, and expects to be treated like a VIP, or ‘very important pig’.
5 ________
Carole rescued her and three days later Gismo the lamb was born. Then there’s Gromit the Friesian cow who was left to die because the farmer couldn’t pay his vet’s bills, or Petal the goat who suffered terribly for over a year.
6 ________
‘The vet refused to let them take her home again. Instead he gave her to me to take care of. It’s amazing she lets anyone go near her after the treatment she received, but she’s very happy and loves being with people.’
7 ________
‘It was she who came up with the idea of starting up an adoption scheme,’ explains Carole. ‘Over 400 people have now sponsored an animal, and we have about 40 life members, all of whom have paid money to help keep the sanctuary going.’
A When Carole first moved in, she inherited some 15 sheep from the farmer, including Larry the Lamb, whose mother died soon after his birth. ‘When I found him he was cold, hungry and close to death,’ she recalls.
B Carole openly confesses to preferring the company of animals to humans. ‘When I was a little girl I always spent more time with my pets and I could never bear to see any of them suffer.’
C The sanctuary’s survival is constantly at risk. It costs Carole £600 a week for hay and animal food, and the vet’s bill can be as much as £1,000 a month. ‘I remember crying to my friend on the phone, thinking that we’d have to close down.’
D Wiggy the pig, on the other hand, is difficult to get rid of. He’s always on the hunt for cakes and biscuits and he won’t leave you alone until he’s made sure you’re not hiding one behind your back.
E Some of the animals arrive in a terrible condition, but at Carole’s Farm Animal Sanctuary they all have a future.
However, the future is never certain and the sanctury is beginning to struggle for survival.
F Inspiration for the sanctuary came when Carole, who trained as a veterinary nurse, was living in Hertfordshire. She had a pony, which she kept in a field, and she would often go to the nearby farm to watch the lambs.
G ‘She had a broken leg and her owners were supposed to take her back to the vet within a few months so that he could take her plaster cast off. But they didn’t return until 15 months later. The poor animal was in agony.’
H In Carole’s eyes all her animals have their own personalities, and if they could speak, all would have an alarming story to tell. Take the sheep who was destined for the butcher’s, despite her advanced state of pregnancy.
I Carole lives with her ‘family’ – some 500 sheep, goats, lambs, calves, pigs and chickens – amongst a jumble of old farm builings. The sanctuary is near Fen Drayton, in a remote area to the west of Cambridge.
