Benny is Hospitalized
One of our caregivers found Benny straining outside the barn during heat checks. His labored breathing and straining to pee indicated he was suffering from a urinary blockage – a medical emergency. This is an unexpected and expensive emergency. Your donation right now is critical in ensuring Benny receives the care he deserves. If you […]
Donate to Skunk Fencing
Recently, a mama skunk decided to make a den near the chicken pasture. On camera, we saw her with one baby. Then we realized she had four more!

Motherhood Without Consent: How Animal Agriculture Exploits Female Bodies
Every Mother’s Day, we celebrate the depth of a mother’s love. We send flowers. We make dinner reservations. We pause to honor the women who raised us. But the holiday we observe today was never meant to be about dinners or flowers. And the mothers we forget to honor outnumber us by billions. The Radical […]

The Farm Bill’s Hidden Attack on Animal Protection Laws
On April 30, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Food and National Security Act of 2026 by a vote of 224–20. Supporters called it bipartisan progress. Animal advocates know better. This bill is, at its core, a gift to factory farming interests, and it just moved one step closer to becoming law. The Threat: […]
