Brave Runaway Goat Escapes Slaughter

Sick, frail, and yet possessing an indomitable will to live, a goat with a

seeming “sixth sense†for direction was found running along a busy road just

miles from Farm Sanctuary after escaping from a slaughterhouse in nearby

Newfield, New York. Read more.

 

 

 

 

Help End Cruel Combat Training

Although it has regulations mandating the use of non-animal methods for trauma

training, the Army continues to train physicians and medics to respond to combat

trauma by shooting, stabbing and breaking the bones of live pigs and goats. Take

action.

We’re at 84%: Help Us Reach Our Goal!

If you’ve already signed our petition urging the USDA to reconsider its

decision to allow a “naturally raised†label on meat products from animals

on factory farms, thank you! Now help us reach our goal of 10,000 signatures by

forwarding to everyone you know!

 

 

 

 

 

Tell the USDA You Want to Know More

The USDA Census of Agriculture provides data on producers, the farm animals they

use, and how they use them. But it doesn’t tell us anything about the living

conditions these animals endure. Ask the USDA to start keeping track of this

important information now!

 

 

 

 

The Return of Zoop!

Last month, nearly 200 music fans from across the country gathered at our New

York Shelter for Zoop! II, a special benefit concert starring John Darnielle and

Peter Hughes of The Mountain Goats and John K. Samson of The Weakerthans. See

highlights!
