Historic rescues, groundbreaking ballot measures, and landmark victories in the

courts ... because of your support!

 

 

Dear xxx,

 

You helped make 2008 an incredible year for farm animals!

 

Please make a special year-end gift now to Farm Sanctuary and help make 2009 an

even greater success for farm animals.

 

And, if you make your gift right now, it will be DOUBLED.

Imagine … your gift can help twice as many farm animals! This is an opportunity

farm animals need us to act quickly on. Thanks to a generous offer by a Farm

Sanctuary supporter dedicated to helping us meet funding needs, donations up to

$30,0000 received by December 31 will be matched.

The momentum we’ve built together in 2008 can’t be stopped now:

 

We pushed for and won the largest ballot measure ever with the passing of

Proposition 2 in California! Co-sponsored by Farm Sanctuary, this measure banned

the cruelest forms

of confinement, affecting 20 million farm animals.

 

The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision

against the New Jersey Dept. of Agriculture’s assertion that routine husbandry

practices, like castration without anesthesia, are “humane” simply because they

are common.

 

Farm Sanctuary took in more than 476 animals, many through emergency

rescues, cruelty cases and natural disaster relief efforts - including 69 pigs

saved from the rising floodwaters of the Mississippi River and safely

transported to our New York Shelter. We provided care for more than 1,200

rescued animals at our shelters.

 

We monitored and worked on legislation in 26 states this year, culminating

in new laws passed that will give farm animals greater protection - including

downed animal protection in California and anti-confinement law in Colorado!

 

We increased the number of eateries and markets that have

pledged to say NO! to foie gras and the inhumane force-

feeding of ducks and geese to over 1,000.

 

Neil, we must build on these victories. Each animal we lift from cruelty ...

every law that provides more protection for farm animals ... each victory in the

courts ... is only possible with your support. Please make your year-end

donation now and let the animals know that you will be there for them by taking

advantage of this special matching gift opportunity.

And, 2009 promises to be an even bigger year. Farm Sanctuary has

an ambitious agenda: to push more states to outlaw inhumane treatment of farm

animals, to pursue legal action to stop cruelty in its tracks, and to have our

farm animal rescue team ready when disaster strikes.

 

As always, you can be assured that we will use your gift in the most

efficient way possible, putting it to work for farm animals right away.

And, if you make your gift today, it will go twice as far, allowing us to

care for double the number of farm animals - thanks to a generous

matching gift.

For the billions of farm animals who continue to suffer every day at factory

farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses, it is your support that will give them a

voice.

Please, make a special year-end gift for the animals.

Yours for farm animals,

 

 

Gene Baur

President and Co-founder

PS. Our goals for 2009 are ambitious, but we are determined to win the battles

ahead for farm animals. Please help us end cruelty to farm animals and promote

compassionate living by sending a tax

deductible, year-end gift to Farm Sanctuary today. Your gift will be

doubled thanks to a generous matching gift allowing your support

to help twice the number of farm animals.
