Coconut was rescued from a farm in upstate New York that was operating
as a backyard butcher facility. When the owner was shut down for
extreme animal abuse, Farm Sanctuary and other rescue groups saved
close to 200 farm animals who were starving, sick and terrified.
Coconut and the rest of her flock came to Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge
in North Carolina in the winter of 2015, where they continue to heal
from years of cruelty. A few weeks after their rescue it was
discovered that some of the sheep were pregnant. In March of 2016,
Coconut gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Clover and the bond
between mother and daughter is strong to this day. Coconut is easy to
identify because one of her eyes is mostly blind due to an untreated
pinkeye infection during that horrible time. Now that Coconut is home
at the Refuge all of her needs, physical and emotional, will be tended
to for the rest of her life.
