Saved from slaughter little Salvador :)

Saved from slaughter:  dairy calf repays rescuers in cuddles When he was very little, Salvador's fate was grim. He was born on a Chilean  dairy farm , where his mother was a dairy cow. Because he would never produce milk, he was set to be slaughtered for 'veal'. Thankfully, Salvador's luck changed.

And he loves showing his affection for his rescuers in the most adorable way.. Credits : http://www.animalsaustralia.org
