She's back!

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: A Canterbury animal activist who was forced to close her cow sanctuary after authorities found animals in poor condition is buying animals again.

Some farmers have taken to social media to encourage fellow farmers not to sell stock to Jasmine Hubber, who was 17 when she opened 'Til the Cows Come Home, near Cust, north Canterbury, in July 2017 to provide a 'safe haven' for rescued farm animals.

At one stage, she had about 200 cows across six grazing sites. Many of them were sick or injured bobby calves or retired dairy cows, which were saved from slaughter.

However, inspectors found large numbers of stock "in poor condition".

Five malnourished animals had to be put down and re-homed. She wasn't charged by Ministry for Primary Industries.
