Don't Let "Save Our Bacon" Sneak Back Into the Farm Bill

Big Pork wants to sneak the Save Our Bacon Act back into the Farm Bill and wipe out state animal protection laws. Tell your senators to keep it out.

Why Farmed Animals?

We advocate for farmed animals because they are some of our planet's most abused and exploited individuals. These sentient beings experience grave suffering within our food system. We strive to create a more humane and just world for them by raising awareness and promoting change.

💚Kindness starts with you.

💔 Sweet Persephone is undergoing emergency surgery right now to repair a broken femur. 

We are unsure how it occurred as there is nothing in their stall to cause such an injury. We do know these birds are bred to carry more weight than normal. The break is a clean one, but does require surgical intervention. 

Persephone is one of three 4-5 mos old turkeys we recently took in from a farm. 

She is so curious and brave. We are hoping so hard that she gets through the surgery. 

If you want to help Persephone, please donate. If you donate $30 or more, we will send you a digital sponsorship. All of your gift will go toward the $3,500 surgery.
Join us this Saturday, November 14th, for Pigs & Pumpkins from 11:00-2:00 pm! 

You'll get to visit with the animals and end the event with a special treat - feeding our rescued pigs some pumpkins. 

Bring your own pumpkin; just make sure it is uncarved and unpainted. Don't have a pumpkin? We have plenty on hand for you to feed to the piggies. 

Come hungry: Vegan Circus will have human food for purchase.

You can purchase tickets at the link in our bio or go to animalplace.org
They are not things but we are falling for our newest rescues - Persephone, Sienna, and Amber. 

These five month old turkeys were saved right before slaughter. 

They are three reminders of why we care. Three reasons why we choose a vegan Thanksgiving. 

Persephone is the bravest. 
Sienna is the protector. 
Amber is shy. 

All would have been killed for a forgotten meal this Thanksgiving. 

If your vibe is compassion, we are your people.
@darkicondesign of @killswitchengage shares why he went vegan, his go-to meals on tour, and why you should try it too.

His take: “Why does someone have to die just because I want a snack?”
