A Life Devoted to Rescue and Protection—

Anthony Wallé’s journey with goats began in his childhood, growing up among the animals his father raised. They weren’t just livestock—they became his teachers, imparting lessons about survival, nature’s remedies, and resilience beyond human understanding. As a child, Anthony learned from their instincts, their endurance, and their silent wisdom, shaping his deep connection with them.

Since 2003, Anthony has dedicated his life to rescuing, protecting, and healing goats in Aruba. His mission is not about farming for milk or cheese, but about ensuring their well-being, offering them safety, and preserving their lives against adversity. Through his unparalleled skill and compassion, he has earned the title “The Goat Doctor”, saving countless animals through natural remedies and hands-on care.

Despite his unwavering commitment, he has faced challenges, including legal disputes that threaten his ability to continue his work. Yet, his devotion remains steadfast. A fundraiser has been launched to support him in his mission, highlighting his tireless efforts to feed, shelter, and protect the goats that once taught him everything he knows

Now, Anthony gives back to these animals with the same wisdom they once gifted him. His bond with the goats is not just about care—it is a lifelong connection, built on respect, experience, and the undeniable link between a man and his herd.
