Sacred Camel Gardens

A rooster was recently dumped on the property here and I brought him out to the Sacred Camel Gardens where he quickly set up his roost.

He’s an interesting guy, dropped off because he’d obviously been a challenging character for his previous humans. I quickly noticed his sharp intelligence, and that he simply felt mis-understood and disrespected by humans. The people where he’d come from didn’t know how to relate to roosters, or just didn’t have the patience or time. Continue reading →

 A group of girls and boys recently visited the camels, hanging out with them for hours, never to leave….

Long, long, ago human beings caught hold of the ideas of ownership, and property, whether of the land, a cave, or animals or other people.

Since his arrival a month ago Zazoo and I have been getting to know each other.

Not having been away from home and family for most of his 16 years he missed them terribly for the first couple of weeks. He also made it very clear that he didn’t care for me one bit. And to be honest I didn’t like him, either. He was spoiled, entitled, emotionally lazy and controlling, self-centered and pushy… Continue reading →

The Sacred Camel Gardens also has eight horses, most of them rescued from otherwise likely slaughter…

Now, instead, they have the run of some 200 acres of fields, swamps and brush-land, free to do as they please, wandering as a herd, finally knowing what it is to be a horse, and to have a culture, rather than be merely captive, and alone, in a stall or small pen. Continue reading →

Those remarkable beings known today as camels once roamed through much of North America as one of this continent’s original native inhabitants.

Until about 8,000 years ago the camel was an integral part of the North American landscape.

June 22 is World Camel Day.

Please give a thought to all the camels (and other non-humans) the world over who are mistreated, abused, bought and sold for profit, treated as nothing more than commodities and slaves… Continue reading →

Dear Elizabeth ,

Thank you so much for your recent, very generous, donation to the Sacred Camel Gardens. I would have written you directly, through the post, but I couldn’t read the hand-written address on your check. (I know you’re in Texas !) Continue reading →

Tired and happy, Bruce, Malcolm and I pulled into the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary, on Friday May 25, after a three week round trip to New York where Sage and Phoenix were sacredly gifted to the wonderful Green Chimneys School.

.The evening we arrived back at the Sacred Camel Gardens Bruce and I went out to say “Hi” to the herd, which was way off at the far end of the pasture, about half a mile distant.  Continue reading →

Sage and Phoenix are resting in their stalls here tonight at Green Chimneys. They like being here, kushed down in the fresh sawdust, the horses nearby in their stalls. It was raining this afternoon so we brought Sage and Phoenix into the handsome barn where they each have their own spacious stalls, side by side. Continue reading →
