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.

Juniper lived 10 beautiful years in sanctuary - 9.5 years longer than she would have on a farm. She was left in our driveway with five other turkeys. Oak is now the only one alive. Juniper was gentle and generally quiet. She sheltered bantam rooster, Radcliffe, beneath her wing. She loved Thank the Turkeys because, pumpkins! Volunteer Alida spent a lot of time with Juniper and her friends and has this to share, "They need to be treated like individuals. Being around birds who can be themselves highlights the cruelty they endure on farms. I've spent many lovely, lively hours with Juniper. I enjoyed her curiosity, her affectionate nature when she naps on my lap...perhaps similar to the canine and feline friends in your life? Juniper is an ambassador, having lived 10 years, showing the world she is not faceless but a unique soul who loved her life". See you in the stars, Juniper.

Flippen heck, did you know what day it is?!? DAF(FODIL) day! Now some claim this is a day in which you can support your fave nonprofit through a Donor Advised Fund. AND YOU CAN but only for Daffodil. But we think this should be a national celebration of Daffodil, our 16 year old blind cow who babysits calves and has a dewlap and is a cutie-patootie. Link in bio gives you a chance to ensure Daffodil has enough treats and tootsie care through the year. It is her day, after all.
