Canadian Foie Gras Industry Exposed
Canadian foie gras accounts for the overwhelming majority of foie gras imported by the U.S. annually. Recently, Farm Sanctuary obtained undercover footage taken by a former employee of Canada’s largest foie gras producer, which reveals atrocities at every level of production—from the hatchery, to the abusive force-feeding process, to the slaughterhouse. Along with our Canadian colleagues at the Global Action Network, we’ve submitted evidence to Canadian authorities to urge prosecution of the foie gras facility for animal cruelty. Read more.
Farm Animal of the Month: Rhett the Rabbit
In Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter rabbit barn, Rhett has made quite a name for himself as something of a traffic cop, directing rabbits returning from the yard to an appropriate place in the hutch. In possession of dashing good looks and strong feelings about the proper use of space, Rhett is a favorite among our rabbit herd. Read more about our Farm Animal of the Month.

Farm Sanctuary is the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization.

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.
