Llama Photos
Llama popularity rose many years ago with buyers hoping to make large
profits from breeding and selling these animals. As interest waned, the number of surplus llamas grew. And, as the llama has a life expectancy of 20 to 25 years, the overpopulation problem magnified. Many of the llamas became "throw away" animals. Rescue groups have stepped up to help alleviate the problem but there is a long way to go to solve it. |
Each llama has its own feeding station to insure each gets its required grain and supplements. Llamas will not share voluntarily.
Several old llamas need coats to help them deal with the very cold temperatures in our area. Very low temps and very high temps are very hard on old llamas.
 Sterling was rescued from a neglectful situation by Alsea Bay Llama Rescue, and eventually moved to Brother Francis. As with many of the llamas, his pasterns are broken down. |
 Pablo is a very old, very proud llama. His front pasterns are down and he has a skin condition. He was left behind when the owners moved, and StillPointe Sanctuary rescued them and placed them with Brother Francis. |
