  • Six cows escaped a slaughterhouse and ran through the streets of St. Louis trying to find their way home. They were finally rounded up by authorities and sent back to the slaughterhouse, but the community was outraged, started a public campaign for their freedom, and reached out to The Gentle Barn. The Gentle Barn was given 24 hours to save their lives and find them a new home.
    In honor of their 2nd year anniversary, we're pleased to release The St. Louis Six, a short film documenting their harrowing escape, rescue, and homecoming.

    So glad Gentle Barn rescued these cows. Made me cry when Spirit died. So glad you are honoring Spirit's memory with a pond and new Gentle barn. I love cows. They are sweet loving animals.

    Thanks Gentle Barn Team for compassionately opening your doors to these babies. There is a place in heaven for you 😘

    It pisses me off that people will fight so hard to save the animals that they see fighting for their lives but ignore the others who they hear about. At the same time though, it gives me hope. When people see what’s going on, they want the animals to live.

      If slaughterhouses had glass walls, we would all be veg! That’s a real thing! Out of sight out of mind. This rescue and our opening in St. Louis gives these blessed people the opportunity to see and do the right thing. Thank you for supporting our work. People are changing everyday!

      gentlebarn I love that quote. I also love the quote “as long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be war.” Or something along that line.

      There are other places and people who rescue factory farm animals etc, it's just not always publicized though. I've had a cook book for years from a sanctuary out west etc... This is a pretty historic event that these six at once escaped so it made the news. There was a cow who escaped to find her baby and did somewhere else, yet thankfully the town let them stay together. There are also vigils at slaughterhouses... I just heard even John Nettles the actor has some horses and a donkey saved from becoming dog food on a Midsomer Murders youtube chat for a episode (no press about it though)....and that whole avenue of rescuing dogs and cats from Asia is a big thing too..
      But I can understand what your saying... there are so many - all of them want to live I'm sure..... I wonder if the factories were just bought out these...places where animals die.... the owners would just take the money and run? I think it's all about money perhaps...there was a guy in Asia who bought out a to be killed truck of dogs and rescued them I read.....and then of course create more plant based meats for people to replace meat/ protein alternatives (I don't eat meat, I don't think faux meat reminds of me meat at all actually aside from the slight resemblance, but you can tell it's not a dead animal outright to me, I know there's mixed opinions on this- I'm really sensitive to meat cooking and to me it also smells different, tastes different- same with the faux chesses, I can taste the lack of lactose, which I'm also allergic too- all in all it tastes a lot cleaner - I never really liked meat as a kid nor the smell of it...and it provides solid protein sources for newbe or an older vegan who wants some concise protein..so I think it's good that it's out there...but I also do like beans and non meat related plant protein even sprouts/ lots of greens and you can mix all sorts of plant foods together two or three at a time to create a complete amino acid protein....)
      so anyway... I can understand wanting to live! Those babies were really smart to figure out what was going, or I don't know...These lovely beings need much more of a voice and protection-
      how this all got started in the first place I will never understand. If I was a new human and stumbled across bunnies, cows, etc I would never think lets kill this, and all that process to eat it ... the process alone would deter me... I think of animals as friends..
      But I do want to get what it will take for this to stop! It's in the early stages...but I hope the process happens faster and faster-
      but we are a long way from when everyone was in the dark about this....It's moving towards an age of animal wellness...
      though you'd think cruelty would just be illegal period... at least the Native Americans honored the animals, and some places are a lot less cruel too... but I just don't like killing in general personally. I catch bugs and release them....
      These bulls are angels sent to wake people up perhaps!

  • @ElsjeMassyn
    @ElsjeMassyn 5 лет назад +15

    How tragic is the fact that the most gentle of creatures have NO LAWS protecting them against slaughter and torture.
    Its time that the Human Rights Manifest is re-written and equal animals rights are included therein.
    I dont know how to thank The Gentlebarn for opening their doors to the St. Louis six. Yes Spirit died, but at his his death he was not alone and fearful in a slaughter house. He was surrounded by love and compassion when he breathed his last breath. I am so thankful for that, that his last days on earth were even though painful it was peaceful.

    I cried like a baby. Thank you Gentle farm for the rescue of these cows. Things like this make me want to quit eating meat. Poor conditions those animals live in and all the sickness that is running through them is enough to make me think twice about my meat consumption.

    • @SerrasVictoria
      @SerrasVictoria 2 года назад +5

      It was videos like this (& very traumatizing slaughterhouse footage) that made me instantly go vegetarian and then later vegan. Best damn decision I ever made, hands down! You sound like an intelligent, caring person and I wish you the best of luck if meat-free is the path you choose! ❤️

  • @sepideh3224
    @sepideh3224 2 года назад +29

    Thank you from FRANCE! You’re wonderful!🙏🏽🌸 I cried all along the video for all the pain I know they’ve been through, and for the others that didn’t had a chance to escape. Going vegan for them was one of my life’s best decision, and I wish everyone to open their eyes and heart soon on animals sad and cruel living conditions for our consumption. Go vegan for them 🌱🐮💜

    Devastating that Spirit, who fought so hard for his freedom, didn't have a chance to truly experience life beyond the slaughterhouse.
    Thank you to GentleBarn for all that you do and for saving the ones that you can. I hope you mission continues to inspire compassion and inspire more people to open rescues to help the most abused group on the planet - animals used for food.

    While so thankful for your ability to save five, I can't help but mourn the death of the one. It was heartbreaking to see the officer's hitting him with his cruiser. Many of us are still pondering his injuries and asking what it was about them that prevented his being saved. We are, nonetheless, so thankful that citizens thought to reach out to Gentle Barn for help and your being able to respond. Take care.
