00:00Six months on and you wouldn't believe that Viola and Bitha started life dumped in a bin.
00:08Viola wasn't even able to walk and Bitha had severe lung problems with a slim chance of survival.
00:17But thanks to the sanctuary's efforts and a local farmer, you wouldn't even know that these two had such a
00:26difficult start to life.
00:27In fact, their names were even inspired by the same waste management companies.
00:34So far, their lives have been filled with fun, friends and of course, mischief.
00:42Because she kept getting her head stuck in the fence, Viola has had to wear this special device until she's
00:49too big for that to happen again.
00:52Yeah, to begin with, it was quite a touch and go scenario.
00:56We weren't really sure if they were going to, certainly in the beginning, whether they would make it or whether
01:00they'd make it without any problems.
01:03But six months down the line, you'd have no idea that they came from such a difficult start in life.
01:09They're both very, very, very inquisitive, very, very friendly.
01:13And the main thing is very, very healthy.
01:15Because of this success story, Buttercups has proven that it is the goat.
01:23They've also become like our flagship goats in a sense.
01:26So many people who come down here and visit now come down specifically to visit Bitha and Viola.
01:31You can even adopt them now.
01:32You can adopt the pair of them together for £30 for the year.
01:35So the traction that the story got and the positive outcomes off the back of it is something we can
01:41only be proud of, really.
