Farm Sanctuaries

Meeting rescues from the farm . Will make you want to stop the harm


    One of the reasons we find it so easy to support the use 
     and abuse of cows, chickens, pigs and many other farm 

    animals is the complete (and not accidental) disconnection 
      we as a society have made from them.  

   Most of us are against violence towards cats and dogs and 
  find it shocking when a handful of countries around the world
  consider them fair game for the dinner table. That's because 
  our exposure and connection to cats and dogs makes it clear 
  that they can think and feel and seek happiness and pleasure.
  But by actively distancing ourselves from the animals we eat
 it becomes all too easy to forget about their suffering, and so
 as we pay people to hurt and kill them we can push to the back
  of our minds the fact that there's no difference (in terms of
  their ability to suffer) between the 'food' animals we kill and
   the companion animals so many of us love and care for.

 This is where farm sanctuaries come in. They are truly special
  places that can help us bridge the moral gap we've created. 
 They are places where farm animals of all different species 
  can finally be understood as the individuals they really are. 
 Sadly, sanctuaries can only give refuge to a tiny fraction of
 the billions of animals abused and killed for meat, eggs, dairy
 and other products each year, but these lucky few become
 ambassadors for their species, helping us remake connections we    were all too eager to lose in the name of a clear conscience.

 I strongly recommend following as many sanctuaries as possible
​ on social media
 where you'll find endless stories of hope, kindness
 and inspiration as well as seeing these misunderstood creatures
  as the unique individual characters and gentle souls they are. 
 If you're lucky enough to live close to a sanctuary many offer
 trips, tours and volunteer opportunities.  Some even offer b&b
  style accommodation in picturesque surroundings - the 
​    perfect place to rest, relax, rethink and recharge.

 Getting involved, however little, in the lives of sanctuary animals
  will hopefully inspire you to show them the same kindness and   
  respect already shown to other animals we value on criteria
   other than the taste of their flesh and secretions or the
​     monetary value of their dismembered body parts.

  ​​You'll find an ongoing list of global vegan animal sanctuaries 
  
here and a list of many of the best farm sanctuaries (in
  the English 
speaking world) can be found below along with
    videos including a great series by Farm Sanctuary
      showing exactly how they care for the animals.
