Ellie Lakes started Gentle Barn in 1999 and enlarged it in October 2007. Like many people, Ellie Lakes loves animals. She has turned that love into an effort to save animals and help young people at the same time. Gentle Barn is a farm on more than two hectares(公顷) of land in Santa Clarita, California. It is a place where abused animals can find shelter and care. Ms Lakes has rescued sixty farm animals including horses, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and turkeys. Some had been raised for food. Others were in zoos where they did not receive the care they needed. All have been saved from some form of abuse. Ellie, her husband, Jay Weiner, and others provide treatment and care for the animals at Gentle Barn. Twenty to thirty people offer to work with the animals without pay. The animals usually grow to accept and love people. And they build close relationships with their keepers. Visitors can touch and hold animals they would normally never have a chance to see. As many as three hundred visitors come to Gentle Barn each week. Most are young people aged four to eighteen. Some are from inner city schools. Some are children with special needs. Some of the children were abused or came from families with problems.Ellie Lakes says the animals provide examples for the young people that abuse can be overcome. She says young people see a different side of themselves when they are near animals. They feel they can develop a connection with an animal whose story is similar to their own.
