Summer on the Farm
June 15, 2015 5:46 minutes
This is a lovely, peaceful video with wonderful music. It shows the Safe Haven animals, enjoying their lives on the beautiful Safe Haven property. Watch the animals care for each other and even watch some funny antics, such as a goat feeding from a low tree branch.
There is even a black bear who comes to the farm for a few hours for the past four years. He is missing a paw, which we assume a neighbor shot off. He presses on; the video was shot without a zoom lens, because, as Bill Crain says, “I believe deep down that black bears aren’t dangerous if we’re calm.”
