Please Take Action to Pass the Philly Foie Gras Prohibition
On the heels of the successful passage of Chicago’s foie gras ban, Philadelphia City Councilman Jack Kelly has introduced similar legislation to ban foie gras. Predictably, Councilman Kelly’s bill is drawing fire from some restaurants in Philadelphia. But as these restaurants turn up the heat on the City Council to maintain the cruel status quo, we need to turn up our voices to change it. Please take action to let the President of the City Council know that Philadelphia can’t afford to not ban foie gras cruelty. We need every animal protection advocate in the U.S. to speak up in support of Philadelphia’s proposed foie gras ban. To find out how you can help, visit: www.farmsanctuary.org/campaign/state_Phili.htm.
New Rescue in Need of Sponsorship
Cuddled and made over by children, Linus grew accustomed to human attention at the petting zoo he called home for his first months of life. However, once the end of the summer came and the kids left the camp where the zoo was located, Linus was headed back to where he came from: a pig farm—where he’d eventually be shipped off to slaughter. But fate and a dedicated volunteer intervened. Now Linus is living at our California Shelter—and looking for loving sponsors. Read more.

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. For more information about Farm Sanctuary or our programs, please visit www.farmsanctuary.org or call 607-583-2225.
