Lemondrop

Yeah, yeah, newborn zoo animals are cute. And yes, beagles and other house pets are sweet and lovely and adorable and all. But for a moment, consider the the barnyard animal -- beyond the petting zoo, what kind of love do they ever get? No celebrity status at the zoo, no nice homes and loving families ... sigh.

That's why we're totally behind new Tumblr Adorable Barnyard, which is finally giving the farm creatures their due. (Which, by the way, they totally deserve -- the photos below and after the jump should be more than enough proof.)
