farm animals

Pigs are such pink, perky animals, but they don't always get enough love on the internet. So instead of putting the spotlight on cats today, we're gonna celebrate the perfect, perky creatures known as pigs. There's a reason Miss Piggy of The Muppets is such an icon. Scroll down for some adorable big pigs and itty bitty piglets. 

When it comes to farm animals, no matter how cute they are, people don't try to save them as much, even when they clearly need help. Thankfully, there are places like the Shanti farm, who open their hearts to exactly these kinds of animals. They take in not only animals with difficult cases but also animals who others would normally not take at all, like disabled cats, horses that were thrown away after they were too tired or old to be ridden, hurt sheep, and the hero of our story today - a little 8-day-old baby calf. It was found near a calf who was on the brink of death, suckling on her dead mother's teat to survive.

"We give them hope and a respectable life," said a representative of Shanti farm to ICanHasCheezburger. "We let people meet them a fall in love with them, and we let the animals learn that they can trust and befriend humans."

Tohar the calf is one of their most amazing success stories. Read more about her below!

It seems like the weather in Texas is finally getting better but it's no surprise to anyone at this point as to just how scary this experience has been! Freezing temperatures in a state completely unprepared for it, no power, and now there's "boil water" notice in effect. Poor Texans have gotten hit hard but in times such as these, there are always some heartwarming sights that set a fire in our hearts. 

During what is being called, "snowpocalypse," many people have brought their outdoor animals into their homes, in order to protect them from the freezing temperature. In a Twitter thread started by @yashar, we see photos and hear stories of those who took in animals during these times. 

Tiny baby deer, is there anything more wholesome? They're gangly, their speedy, their adorable, and they have the cutest, purest, most heartwarming ability of making friends with other animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, apparently fawns just like to cuddle and make friends. 

Unlikely animal friendships are some of our favorites. Any story of an animal from one species befriending an animal from another species has something quite special about it. But there's something about fawns being friends with other animals that is even more special still - perhaps it's the apparent innocence, perhaps it's just because baby animals are adorable. 

Regardless, get ready to have your heart flutter because these pictures are just too cute to handle. 

Right as we needed it, @RllGJUlCE comes to the rescue with the most enormous twitter thread of wholesomeness we've seen in a loooong time. We wanna thank this user for taking the time and collecting all of these heartwarming pictures of what we truly believe are animals that don't get nearly as much love as they deserve. 

So, it's time to give them that love. Since the thread is SO huge, we've put here the pictures that made us smile the hardest. To see the rest of them, go give the original thread some love. But for now, let's fill up with love for these deserving of appreciation farm animals.

When it comes to rescuing animals, we have to get creative and do what we can. Not everyone has enough money to simply decide to take animals into their care. This yoga class is an example of someone who wants to do good for animals and has come up with a way not only to raise money but to let the animals enjoy nature as well. Introducing "Yoga With the Animals" - the first-time yoga class with farm animals that were once abandoned, neglected, or abused, now enjoying nature. 

In days when you're spending so much time on video calls with the same faces every day, how about mixing things up a bit by adding a fresh face to the gallery?  

How about inviting a farm animal as a virtual guest on your next ZOOM conference call with your team? 

Well, for a 100$, the Sweet Farm Silicon Valley-based animal sanctuary offers a cameo from a farm animal, as part of its recently launched "Goat 2 meeting" initiative.

And yes. it's for real.

Now in its 11th year, the Irish Farmer Calendar showcases some of Ireland's most handsome farmers in a variety of cute and hilarious poses, always with farm animals. 

October 2nd is the annual world farm animals day and what could be a better way to celebrate it than a collection of funny snaps from the farm? We love this facebook page. 

Farm animals are cute, and they also play an important role in modern society. Take some time to appreciate them this World Farm Animals Day. Created in memory of Ghandi, who believed in treating all living beings with respect, World Farm Animals Day was founded to highlight the poor conditions suffered by some farm animals, and promote awareness in the hope something may be done to improve their lives. 

The Caenhill Countryside Centre is a charity near Devizes, Wiltshire, which works with schoolchildren and young people to teach them about farming, animals, and the countryside. The farm is owned by 61-year-old Chris Franklin, who has the cutest daily habit of posting "Rush hour" videos of his farm animals- every morning he opens the door to his barn and commentates as the many ducks, geese, and roosters inside make their way into the yard. Franklin had always been interested in the internet, he said, and he heard the kids on his farm talking about TikTok. When he went on the app, he was confused by the fact there were people "lipsyncing and doing fun things ... 15 seconds of madness!" He wondered if his own footage of the animals would go down well on the app. Well, thousands of views and followers later, it most certainly has. Check out some of his cute videos. 

We want to go to there.
