that one post talking about how op doesnt like the deux face situation is till pissing me off bc like. i keep seeing people in the reblogs like 'oh, i was rooting for them but i didnt realize they couldnt breathe or eat' and its like no!!!!!! that's not true!!!!! i dont know if the op of that post was just misinformed or deliberately lying but its SO frustrating to see people take it at face value. but i dont really have a right to be mad because i do that too sometimes! like im not mad at the people taking it at face value per se, because its not hard to believe that a deformed animal might be suffering, but in the case of deux face shes actually doing well, all things considered!!

She can get herself up from a standing position just fine! she just has trouble maintaining a stand so the family is working on building her leg muscles up. and she breathes fine, too! the only thing different is that she breathes through both noses at the same time. And she can also eat without issue! She is bottle fed for the time being, but the only reason she can't nurse is because of the standing issue, NOT because of any structural problems with her mouth!

Obviously we can't always know when an animal is in pain, but I think in this case there's absolutely nothing wrong with the family doing their best to fight for her. I don't think it's just a 'clout' thing either, because they have explicitly stated they're not allowing visitors or the media because they don't want her welfare to be impacted by that! there's this idea that people raising animals for products (meat, leather, milk, fur, etc) don't care about them, but when it comes to personal family farms thats usually as far from the truth as you can get. i urge you guys to look into the situation for yourselves

#deux face #two headed calf #i understand that romanticizing a fictional situation like the two headed calf poem can cause problems #but thats not whats happening here!#sorry my adhd meds just kicked in and i have a lot to say

genuinely in tears about deux face btw. like I know she's just an animal and genetic abnormalities happen all the time and she's probably not gonna make it very long but she is alive! two weeks! she's alive and there's a video of her mom and other cows licking her and saying hi and she's in the sun and she can lift her head up and she's alive! it's just like. the perfect most poetic little bit of hope in the world right now. she's making it. and people love her. people from all over the country, all over the world, know about her and are holding out hope for her to make it. and she doesn't know me and I'll never see her in person but she matters. and I look at my two-headed calf tattoo and I look at the poem by laura gilpin and I look at deux face and I look at the stars and I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of it. there are twice as many stars as usual.

#she is alive!!!! it's been two weeks!!! she's doing well!!#she's holding her head up and her mom visited her and they're alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!#im sorry if this is cringe or basic or whatever but for real. two headed calf you are my world.#deux face

I'm crying over Deux Face, the Two-Headed Calf poem, and how beautiful it is that we are collectively celebrating that calf's life like the poem does. Twice as many stars, for how long it should be.

Deux Face update 3/11. She is still making positive progress getting a little stronger every day. Here is a video of her holding her head up, something she wasn't able to do a week ago. Her legs are getting stronger too and we are hopeful she will be standing on her own before we know it. Thanks for all the continued thoughts and prayers.

The Official Maggot Server Of Doom was having a discussion about how Deux Face was inspiring and how it was nice to have good news for once and I said what I think might have been the most powerful thing I’ve ever said and I feel like it needs to be shared

Deux Face is 22 days old today !!

Please be aware that two-headed cows cannot live full lives because of a variety of complications. Not just their inability to stand because of the weight of the head but other abnormalities might arise as they age which can be fatal. So far Deux Face has lived quite long for an animal with this abnormality and we've been assured that she is not in any pain- but things could very suddenly turn and she could pass in the matter of a day.

#rambles #deux face #cheering for her all the time #updated with a small disclaimer because i dont want people to have the impression tht im not aware that she could pass #im invested in her all the same even knowing she will probably have a very short life

Deux Face is unfortunately gone.

This isn't shocking considering very few two-headed calf even make it past one day, but sad nonetheless.

I wrote a poem for Deux Face.

Yesterday, A calf with two faces Went to sleep.

None of us were there, But if we were, We'd have seen her lay down, With twice as many peaceful eyes, With twice as much joy.

Because in her short life, She knew more love, Than many have seen In twice as many decades, As she lived days.

Because in her short life, She shared more hope, Spread more happiness, Healed more hearts, And changed more minds Than many have done In twice as many lifetimes, As she got to live.

Yesterday, A calf with two faces Went to sleep.

Tears are shed now Around the world At the thought That she won't wake.

But something Is forever changed.

Because for once, They had all thought of Something that strange Not as a curiosity Not as an experiment Not as an abomination But simply for what it was.

A miracle.

RIP Deux Face, the beautiful and beloved two-headed calf, 29 February 2024 - 25 March 2024.

#weirdly specific but ok #asmi #deux face #you are so loved little calf #loved present tense #poem
