Most sanctuaries I am familiar with are having a hard time keeping up with the costs of feed, maintenance and vet care. This is like a "LifeTimeTV" version-with a great looking brand new farm which seems to be running with a big budget. The animals are beautiful, of course(even the white goat looks like he just came back from a bleach job at the groomers)- but in the episodes I have seen, there are no badly neglected or abused animals(maybe this comes later). Even the two founders look so clean I can't believe they really do work. This makes me think that possibly Animal Planet devised this series. Please try to represent the rest of the struggling sanctuaries all over the nation who adopt really broken animals, and have to plead daily for money to keep them going. Not all are floating as high as this one, AP. People out there- check out sanctuaries near you and send money, they desperately need it! User's recommendation: Check out the sanctuaries in your region and give to them, they will be grateful.
