'I'd save every animal in the world if I could.'
A Wirral mum set up her own animal sanctuary to care for more than 100 animals - without any official funding.
"At first it was funded by myself via my doggy day care business, but due to more animals being rescued and me losing the business, it became reliant upon donations." She continued: "After losing my business I had to make the decision to relocate the sanctuary to cheaper premises, and the boys and I moved back to our home.
The running costs to feed and care for all the animals is more than £1,500 per month but all the volunteers work for free. The 20 or so regular volunteers at Whitegate Animal Sanctuary help with day to day tasks such as picking up animal waste, cleaning, feeding, providing medication and other aspects of care.
The truth behind what would've happened to the animals if Whitegate Animal Sanctuary hadn't saved them is tragic and harrowing. Many would've continued to experience shocking neglect or sent to slaughter in their industries — in the case of the cockerels, thrown into a shredder alive.
