Welcome to Gaia! ::

as a part of their lifestyle, many vegetarians/vegans of course like to support animal rescues and other efforts to help animals live better lives. in light of that i would like to share this with you all...

somewhat recently, i discovered this wonderful organization called farm sanctuary, which has a few locations in the u.s. and specializes in rescuing... you guessed it... farm animals. farm sanctuary takes animals from situations of abuse, neglect, or danger, and gives them a forever home in one of their locations where the animal can live a comfortable, happy, and fulfilled life.

whether you are looking for a trustworthy animal rescue operation to help support, so you know that the money goes directly towards the animals, or just looking for some heartwarming stories that remind us all that hope and kindness are still out there and working, farm sanctuarys website is a great place to check out! i will warn though, despite their happy endings, some of the stories are somewhat graphic.

if you are interested, i would recommend checking out any of their rescued animal stories for starters:

youre welcome! i love what they do for animals so i thought others here might appreciate it too... they also have a youtube channel : )
