An Aries named Huxley longed for a better life for 10 years. At the New Jersey Zoo, which was his home, he lay pressed against the fence surrounding his pen 24 hours a day. The pet's grief was visible to the naked eye and soon became known as the “depressed ram”. Fortunately, better days were on the horizon – Huxley just didn't know it yet.
Before we took it, it was lying on the ground for 24 hours a day. He had no shelter or any friend. It became obvious that he had given up on life. – admitted Rian Feldman, founder of Uncle Neil's Home (UNH), an organization dedicated to saving livestock.
Huxley desperately needed help
No he took refuge and suffered from a forelimb injury. The sight of him kept me awake at night. He suffered so much. I promised him that I would do anything to get him out of there. We made an urgent proposal to the district commissioners to release Huxley, and as soon as they accepted it, we brought Huxley home to UNH. – says Rian Feldman.
A complete examination at the vet showed that the ram suffered from severe osteoarthritis, which required steroid injections , laser therapy and painkillers.
Now he is finally happy
On December 23, 2021, Huxley was finally on his way home in which he is finally happy. Now he finally has the life he always deserved. He's no longer depressed. Now he is smiling in the pasture with his friends.
Huxley is very happy and calm. Upon arriving at the sanctuary, he immediately felt at home and our other animals immediately fell in love with him. He is happy, loved and wakes up every morning with a new joy in life that he did not have before being released. – says Rian Feldman.
Life on which waited a whole 10 years
The liberation took a long time, but most importantly, now Huxley finally has a real family and that no one will ever call him again him “ram with depression.”
Huxley brought so much joy to my life. I love seeing him live the life he deserved so much. He had waited 10 years for this. It is really wonderful to know that she will spend the rest of her life happily. – adds Rian Feldman.
