Police say the cows have been returned to their owner.
I worked for Tracy/Asha sanctuary in 2018 for winter hours off the main farm I worked for. I started on January 3rd and was fired (first job I had ever been fired for) about a month later.
Let me just say Tracy has some severe emotional and possibly mental issues that she needs to work on. She lives in her own little bubble and has not a clue what she is doing. Yes I agree that animals do need to be treated with compassion YET when you are doping up an animal that is miserable and can't even function on it's own do to being blind/deaf and original born with organs on the outside (yes this was a calf at the farm at the time) nature has its way of dealing with it on its own. We have an obligation to stand up for animal cruelty yet to keep an animal alive where it's act of living is causing it pain and misery is just as cruel. There was a turkey there too that was old as dirt and it was on meds to keep it going, I even drove it to the vet for a checkup. Tracy's land is also not suitable for livestock (or at least it was when I worked there) and she just had mounds and mounds of used hay all over that I was hired to run the tractor to dump all of it into dumpsters (yes you read that right).
When I was hired there were three other workers on property that managed the feeding and cleaning of barns. I was hired to run tractor and manage equipment and keep ways shoveled and plowed. By mid month there were only two of us left on property and I thought the other two may just had classes or something. Then one day it was just me and I was being asked to do EVERYTHING. From feeding, mucking and dealing with tractor work. After doing everything for a few days I finally asked where is everyone else to help with this because I haven't been able to get to do tractor work (move used hay to dumpster) which was pilling up, literally. She replied "you know what I have to be off property today so you are just done for the day, actually you're fired and need to leave the property immediately." I was dumbfounded and just replied "okay, well I wish you the best of luck with everything." Handed keys over and walked away. I got in my car and started driving away and then started crying cause that was crazy town and I just got fired for no reason! I called travis and told him what just happened and he said everything will be okay. Went immediately to my main veggie farm and told them what happened (where I guess they knew Tracy was not a stable person) and they luckily said they could give me some hours for the rest of the winter and of course my regular hours once the main season started in March.
The fact that Tracy refused to give two cows back does not surprise me at all. I even know a kid that grew up right next door to her who said she constantly said that everyone was out to get her and once a sign blew away off the property and she threatened all her neighbors saying one of them stole it and she is going to call the cops on all of them. Here it just blew down the side of her property along the creek and was stuck in a tree where the neighbor kid found it.
