Snowflake and Snowball: Two Leghorns Find Freedom at our California Shelter
Snowflake and Snowball, at only a few months old, were to be euthanized before they came to Farm Sanctuary. However, nothing was physically wrong with these beautiful, healthy leghorn hens. Instead, they were simply going to be killed because the researchers who used them in university experiments did not need them anymore. Thankfully, with the help of a compassionate student/staff person at the university, their lives did not end prematurely. Snowflake and Snowball instead are now happy and thriving at our California Shelter! Click here to read more.
Make it a happy holiday for the sanctuary animals! From blankets and towels for the shelter to pens and copy paper, we are in need of equipment and supplies for both our New York and California Shelters. The animals are hoping for their favorite holiday treats, too! In-kind donations are tax-deductible and reduce our costs so that every dollar possible is spent helping more farm animals. See Farm Sanctuary’s complete Wishlist online.
Make a New Year’s Resolution to join the Say No to Foie Gras Campaign!
Activists have helped make great strides in 2006 by educating the public about the extreme cruelty involved in foie gras production, as well as making legislative history in Chicago. However, the powerful and wealthy foie gras industry and their supporters are fighting back hard. Please renew your commitment to ending this cruel and unnecessary animal product by making 2007 the year that gets foie gras off more menus and into more laws!
Farm Sanctuary is very grateful to the more than 800 individuals, as well to the generous coordinators and donors who took part in our 2006 Walk for Farm Animals. Held in over forty-four cities across the U.S. and Canada, and raising more than $120,000 for our rescue, education and advocacy programs, our 21st annual Walk has not only been the most successful to date, but has also educated more people than ever before about the cruelty of factory farming.

About Farm Sanctuary
Farm Sanctuary is the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization. Since incorporating in 1986, we have worked to expose and stop cruel practices of the “food animal” industry through research and investigations, legal and legislative actions, public awareness projects, youth education, and direct rescue and refuge efforts. Our shelters in Watkins Glen, NY and Orland, CA provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals, who have become ambassadors for farm animals everywhere by educating visitors about the realities of factory farming.
