We’ve received a number of questions about the Supreme Court's recent Prop 12 ruling, and are excited to share answers to your most frequently asked questions.

This time of year brings longer days, shorter nights, and exceedingly warmer temperatures. For the rescued farm animals who call our sanctuaries home, summer means napping in chamomile fields, dustbathing in the shade, and running at dusk through the pasture.

On Wednesday, March 29, Farm Sanctuary teamed up with Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) to foster critical Farm Bill conversations and celebrate the introduction of the 2023 Food & Farm Act. Since this kickoff event, Farm Sanctuary has connected with dozens of academics, advocates, environmentalists, farmers, healthcare professionals, lawyers, and organizers to explore how reforming the Farm Bill can create just, sustainable, and compassionate plant-based agricultural infrastructure to nourish us all.

At Farm Sanctuary, we aim to provide environments and care for the hundreds of farm animals residents who call our sanctuaries home, so that they can truly thrive. While providing this care is not easy, it is well worth it. We want to share our experience during Responsible Animal Guardianship month so that you, too, can be informed and ready if and when you choose to become a responsible animal guardian.

LOS ANGELES - (May 11, 2023) - In a historic day for animals and California voters, the Supreme Court of the United States has upheld Proposition 12. The law, enacted in 2018 by voter initiative with nearly two-thirds support, protects pregnant mother pigs from extreme confinement. It also bans the use of veal crates (for calves), battery cages (for egg-laying hens), and prohibits the sale of products from such inhumane systems in the state of California.

On February 23, 2023, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled North Carolina's Property Protection Act (the Act) as unconstitutional, more specifically noting that undercover investigations and whistleblowing are activities protected by the First Amendment. The Act was one in a long line of “Ag-Gag” laws that have been proposed across the United States in recent years. This ruling follows nearly five years of litigation instigated by a coalition of public interest groups: PETA, ALDF, Center for Food Safety, Food & Water Watch, Government Accountability Project, ASPCA, Farm Forward, and Farm Sanctuary who challenged the Act for its clear violation of the most fundamental of citizens' First Amendment rights.
