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.

💔 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.

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.
