Teenager behind cow sanctuary wants people to see the animals for more than meat

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A philanthropic teenager who has devoted her life to rescuing cows has saved hundreds from slaughter on her own dime.

Jasmine Hubber, 19, runs a not-for-profit cow rescue and sanctuary near her rural home of Cust, 40 kilometres north of Christchurch.

"[Cows] are so much like us — they feel happiness, sadness, loneliness, fear and love," she said. "They make friends, enemies, and mourn the loss of their loved ones just like us, yet they are one of the most exploited creatures on earth," she says.

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
