VSPCA’s Kindness Farm

The VSPCA Kindness Farm was officially declared open on the 7th of January 2012 by Shri. Nosherwan Jehangir Trustee, Shri. H.M.S.S. Modi Benevolence Trust Fund.

Buffaloes, Cows, Bulls, calves, and horses have begun their nervous but exciting journey from our overcrowded shelter/ refuge to the kindness farm.

Nervous frightened and apprehensive of another torrid jam-packed destination to slaughter places they were relived and overjoyed filled with satisfaction to be wandering freely in this place.
