Keep Saying NO to Factory Farming!

Last week, Farm Sanctuary testified in support of a ban on gestation crates,

veal crates and battery cages in Massachusetts, and Maine just banned both

gestation and veal crates. Help us keep the momentum going by getting active in

your state!

 

 

 

 

Bring Compassion to Your Town

We are looking for compassionate people like you to spearhead Walks for Farm

Animals throughout the nation. Raise vital funds for our rescue, education and

advocacy efforts, as well as awareness about the plight of animals on factory

farms - get involved today!

 

 

 

 

Sponsors Needed for Coco’s Recovery

Tethered by the neck outside a California home, an extremely emaciated goat with

overgrown hooves and severe mastitis suffered unconscionable neglect. Rescued

and brought to our California Shelter, this sweet girl now needs your help to

recover.

 

 

 

 

 

Sign Our Truth Behind Labels Petition!

The USDA recently allowed companies to slap a “naturally raised†label on

meat and meat products that come from animals on factory farms. Let the USDA

know you won’t stand for deceptive claims. Sign the petition to tell them this

label is not natural!

Save Sheep from Cruel Training Exercises

Massachusetts General Hospital recently killed live sheep in a trauma training

course, despite the fact that more than 90 percent of these courses nationwide

rely on human-based simulators rather than live animals. Stop this cruel and

unnecessary practice.

 

 

 

 

 

Independence Day for Farm Animals

Red, white and moo - the sanctuary residents can’t wait to spend the 4th of

July with you! Farm animals value their freedom too, so let’s celebrate life

and liberty for all with free food and fun at our annual Pignic! Get more

details.
