Even as a child, I dreamed of setting up a life farm to enable animals to live on instead of certain death.<\/p>\n
My “career” in animal welfare began at the age of 15 when I rescued a rabbit from an animal testing laboratory with friends. My animal-loving father also rescued wild animals and nursed them back to health, which further strengthened my love of animals. I shared my nursery with various small animals that found their way to me – much to my mother’s chagrin.<\/p>\n
In August 2015, I moved into an old villa in W\u00f6rgl, which was in need of a thorough renovation, including the neglected garden. After repairing the garden, I started building a coop and got the first chickens from the chicken rescue.<\/p>\n
The story of Sitara’s Life Place began when a good friend from an animal welfare organization asked me to take in two baby goats. With each additional animal that was added, the barn was rebuilt and expanded.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, we have leased three stables at the site itself and an open stable with paddock and spacious pasture on a farm on the Angerberg, which provide a home for between 30-40 animals.<\/p>\n
