At Karuna, apart from the local cattle, we also have rescued buffaloes. Buffaloes are not utilized in this area for agriculture, rather only for milk and meat. Local farmers and dairies starve their male calves so that they can monopolise the cow’s milk and then sell them off to the leather industry or use them
Thanks to a generous donor, Karuna was able to purchase 14 acres of agricultural land next to the existing organic farm and cattle shed. This is the “Karuna’s Ahimsa Farm”. Here is a crop of maize that we grew and are harvesting now, which is food very much appreciated by our rescued cattle!
Our rescued camel really towers above the cattle! We came just in time to rescue the camel from slaughter and now he is living a happy and peaceful life making friends within our sanctuary.
Guests are welcome to visit and meet our rescued animals! Let us know how you can help! karunasociety@gmail.com
Is this a form of Cattle Yoga? No, just a way to relax on a lazy day! A rescued calf enjoys a nap on the soft soil.
