Every year Farm Sanctuary's shelters open their doors to suffering farm animals. Some of the animals are found during our investigations of stockyards, factory farms and slaughterhouses - animals who are abandoned at auctions when they could no longer walk, or thrown into dumpsters because they were no longer "productive." Other animals come to Farm Sanctuary from SPCA's and humane societies that need our assistance when farm animals are left to starve to death. And, some of the animals who reside at Farm Sanctuary took matters into their own hooves and escaped from the slaughterhouse! But all of the animals have one thing in common - they needed refuge from the cruelties of "food animal" production and Farm Sanctuary was there to provide the safe haven they desperately needed.
Here are some of Farm Sanctuary's heartwarming "happy endings" stories...
