In a case that vividly illustrates how valuable our scouting program is, here is a calf for whom Animal Rahat’s care came just in the nick of time. One of our scouts spotted this young buffalo pinned to the ground. His owner had tethered him to a stake in the ground, and his halter had become twisted around it.

Our scout quickly untangled the halter, but it was still far too short. So he found the calf’s owner and immediately had him replace the tether with a longer rope. Our scout then suggested using swivel hitches, which prevent the rope from getting tangled, and the owner agreed to use them from then on.
