One of the things I like to do regularly is go to Pierce College's yearly Farmwalk. It's about 5 bucks to get in, and you can meet and greet all sorts of fun animals. Pierce has an extensive agricultural program and it's fun to see a pasture full of cows in the middle of Los Angeles.

One of the first critters we met was a very disgruntled hedgehog.
They have a lot of very photogenic farm equipment you can check out.
They rescue wild mules and donkeys from the nearby deserts and mountains. This sweet mule wanted to be petted so much that she was right up against the fence so people would scratch her.
Here's a hungry donkey at feeding time. (People are allowed to hand feed them carrots!)
Some wool and a sheep being (reluctantly) sheared.
A pony, smiling for the camera.
I was allowed to spend a lot of time with the chickens.
The chickens at Pierce are very friendly! (Also, you can buy fresh eggs from them!)
