Farm Sanctuary

Farm Sanctuary

Farm Sanctuary fights the disastrous effects of animal agriculture on animals, the environment, social justice, and public health through rescue, education, and advocacy. Farmed animals are among the most abused creatures on Earth. An estimated 77,047,000,959 land animals were slaughtered worldwide for food in 2018. Many were raised on factory farms, which maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of the animals, the environment, social justice, and public health.

Farm Sanctuary has two gorgeous facilities, one in New York and one in California, just 45 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Visit https://www.farmsanctuary.org/ to arrange a visit, become a volunteer or adopt/sponsor a farmed animal.
