Farm Sanctuary

Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization based in Watkins Glen, New York. Founded in 1986, the organization is the first farm animal rescue in the United States and employs 163 people. Farm Sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing and providing sanctuary to farm animals, advocating for their compassionate treatment, and educating the public about their sentience and needs. They offer a safe haven for animals who have been abused, neglected, or exploited in the agricultural industry. The organization's mission is to change the world for farm animals by promoting a shift in societal perception from viewing them as commodities to recognizing them as sentient beings deserving of compassion and care. Farm Sanctuary strives to achieve this through various initiatives, including direct animal rescue, public education campaigns, and advocacy efforts.
