Orphan

Hasan

In the summer of 2003 I traveled with a goat through the Netherlands, part of the promotion tour for my book “The Asylum Seeker”.
I had promised to rescue the goat from the slaughterhouse, she was due to be slaughtered somewhere in 2008, but I forgot to keep my promise.
Now I can save a lamb named Hasan.
It is living on a farm not far from The Hague, The Netherlands.
I cannot keep Hasan in my apartment in New York and my mother in Amsterdam is not willing to share her garden with a sheep.
I’m ready to buy Hasan, and I’m willing to pay for his food and his medical assistance, currently he is extremely healthy, but I’m looking for a decent house for Hasan.
If you are seriously interested in taking care of Hasan, please leave a comment on this site.

Hi,
Right after this comment i will send an e-mail about Hassan to a small family on a farm. They keep a large pig, chickens, goats, dogs, cats and more. You'll hear from me, soon.

Oh sweet. If I could I would. Good luck Arnon, hope you find a happy place for Hasan.

Do you find the Dutch artist Tinkebel a great inspiration?

Here in the Betuwe (known from the Hofmeester family) we can make room - as you will - for Hassan. Your bibliographer has promised to keep Hassan company in case of our absence.
Hereby some pictures of Hassans possible future environment. As you can see there is no need for him to feel alone as he has some neighbours.
Sorry, it seems not possible to show the pictures here.

Arnon, I assure he is serious. Eddy's premises are a paradise for Hasan. Jos

Do you have any reason to think that I am not serious? Mad? Maybe. Serious. For sure.

I dislike sheep.

If you have no other options, I can ask my neighbour. Each morning I wake up to the sound of bleating sheep. Which makes us happy.

Apparently Hasan has been rejected by his mother and is therefore not used to being with other sheep.
He needs human beings. He is more like a dog.
But I will discuss this with the farmer.
