The goal is to improve living conditions for the cows and bulls living there and to purchase hay for them.<\/p>\n<p>The shelter plans to <strong>fence off a pasture<\/strong> to ensure the cows and bulls can graze in complete safety. They also want to <strong>expand the enclosures for bulls<\/strong> who have survived cruelty\u2014this will make life easier both for the animals and for the staff. May is also the time to <strong>stock up on fresh hay<\/strong>, and the shelter needs <strong>700 bales<\/strong>. The care fundraiser will help tackle these needs.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Zdrave Zhyttia is home to <strong>5 cows and 5 bulls<\/strong>. Some were rescued from slaughter, and others suffered because of the war. At the shelter, the animals are cared for with deep respect for their natural needs\u2014they are not milked, and certainly not slaughtered for meat.<\/p>\n<p>A well-known resident of the shelter is <strong>Mura the cow<\/strong> (pictured above). She is now <strong>19 years old<\/strong>. Mura once lived near the shelter in Vinnytsia. She was <strong>rescued from slaughter twice<\/strong>. The first time, a man bought her on her way to the slaughterhouse, but she continued to give birth to calves and was still used as a dairy cow. The calves, however, were sent to slaughter.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cThis continued until one day, when she was pregnant again, they decided to send her to the slaughterhouse once more. That\u2019s when we were offered the chance to buy her,\u201d<\/em> the shelter staff recount.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s another incredible detail in this story,\u201d they add. \u201cBefore we rescued her, while she was still with her former owner, Mura once broke free from her pasture and ran all the way to our gate\u2026 She grazed peacefully in our yard, as if she already knew this was her place, her salvation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37903 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/iarylo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"443\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is <strong>Yarylo the bull<\/strong> \u2014 Mura\u2019s son, born at the shelter.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37899 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slava-497x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slava-497x600.jpg 497w, https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slava.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This cow also bears a mythical name \u2014 her name is <strong>Sva Slava<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cShe used to be the most mischievous, headstrong, and spoiled of all our animals.
