Agricultural farms and animal sanctuaries are the most devastated by the severe weather and flooding in California these past few weeks. To learn what people are doing to survive such harsh conditions, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with the Co-Founder of Little Hill Sanctuary, a non-profit organization that saves animals from slaughter and abuse. He talks about the recent upgrades to their facilities to keep sheep, goats, turkeys, pigs, cats, and dogs comfortable and away from the dangers of flood and rain. He talks about the survival lessons he learned from the 2020 fires and how he applies them to their current challenges. Helbard also laments about the lack of government support simply because they do not kill animals and how they cope with the rising hay prices.
