The Farm Sanctuary located in NY and California works to end cruelty to farm animals and promotes compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy. They envision a world where the violence that animal agriculture inflicts upon people, animals and the environment has ended, and where instead we exercise values of compassion. Please click here to learn more about the sanctuary. If you can’t get to the Farm Sanctuary to visit all these wonderful animals, check out the Virtual Experience.
For more than two decades, Farm Sanctuary’s annual Walk for Farm Animals has helped spread the word about the treatment of animals on factory farms and raised vital funds for our rescue, education and advocacy work. The Walks are an important part of Farm Sanctuary’s history and our outreach and fundraising efforts. They are also a great way for supporters to help send a positive message of compassion and hope for farm animals. Please feel free to join me, donate or support the sanctuary any way you can.

Thanks for the Webpage. I used to partake in the eating of animals up until six years ago. I was reading a book from a Buddhist Monastery and the Ven. Master was saying why it is important being a vegetarian. I finished reading excerpt and right then I made the decision to become vegetarian. And last year i made the decision to become vegan. I have not looked back and I am grateful for the Ven. Masters kind words and wisdom which so inspired me to become a vegan. Again thank you for your website.
