                                                                     Mothers come in all shapes, sizes and species, yet when it comes to their babies,
                                                                     they are the same in all the ways that matter.
                                                                     Love, patience, affection, protection - these are traits that all mothers share,
                                                                     from humans to farmed animals. Yet for the latter, sadly these strong bonds are
                                                                     broken all too frequently due to outdated practices and laws, impacting millions
                                                                     of animals every year.
                                                                     When Harry the lamb was rescued due to a serious congenital condition, he was
                                                                     torn away from his mum Alicia. Knowing Harry would need his mother more than
                                                                     ever following his life-saving surgery, Alicia’s own rescue was soon negotiated
                                                                     and she too was bound for Edgar’s Mission.
                                                                     After many days apart, we wondered whether terrified Alicia would recognise
