Worthy is a yearling horse at The Gentle Barn who needs surgery for a birth defect.

The Gentle Barn is a wonderful place where farm animals who have been subjected to severe abuse and neglect recover, then help treat and heal children who also have suffered from abuse!

It's a beautiful place and a wonderful foundation! Just ask Rose McGowan!!

Little Worthy was born with a defect of her front legs, and was too neglected to have surgery.

Well The Gentle Barn has been rehabilitating the little horsie and now she's cleared for surgery!!

Founder of The Gentle Barn said:

"At The Gentle Barn we believe that everyone deserves a chance. We are grateful to the people who have made donations to help pay for boarding and preliminary care. We now are looking to raise funding for the surgery and post op care that will allow her to live pain free for the rest of her life."

So do U wanna help out a cutie horse??

In the UK, scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have been doing an inneresting experiment.

They're looking to measure the moods of goats at a sanctuary in Kent, trying to see how well the animals can recover from neglect and abuse.

What they did was test the goats in a special enclosure that had hidden food surprises.

They studied how optimistic or pessimistic the goats were as to whether or not they'd find food.

The best part about this study, other than showing even farm animals have a complex emotional life, was that it showed mistreated animals can still be fully rehabilitated!

That's so ahamyzing!!

Check out the video (above) to see the scientists in action with some cutie goats!

There was a bill about to be voted on by the Assembly Agriculture Committee that was pulled three hours before voting.

It was a bill that would have limited undercover farm animal abuse investigations!

The bill would have made it so that anyone collecting evidence of abuse would have to turn it in to the cops within 48 hours.

The problem with that is it's not enough time to collect enough evidence to show a pattern of illegal activity, according to animal advocates.

The author of the bill said:

Ryan Gosling is so hunky and caring and attractive and talented and hunky.

But also caring.

He cares about things you probably didn't even know were happening.

Like the cruel dehorning of dairy cows!

He wrote a letter to the National Milk Producers Federation on behalf of PETA that read:
