Climate change is turning up the heat, and making it harder to care for the pigs, cows, horses, and chickens that live at the Gentle Barn in Santa Clarita.
"We were hosing down the pigs and the emus, and we had several animals that were older that we had in the house,"Ellie Laks, founder of the Gentle Barn, said."I had a rooster sleeping in my kitchen, I had a turkey and another chicken indoors for the air conditioning."
The Gentle Barn is working to raise $150,000 to buy shade tarps, fans, sprinkler systems and to pay for increased insulation for the barns to help the animals stay cool when temperatures heat up again, or to keep them warm when things are colder than normal.To donate, visit
