A dedicated group of Mercy For Animals volunteers rolled up their sleeves, laced up their leather-free work boots, and headed up to Manchester, MI for a fun-filled weekend working at SASHA Farm sanctuary.
SASHA Farm is the Midwest’s largest farmed animal sanctuary. The name SASHA is an acronym for the animal rescue operation – Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals. In addition to the top-notch veterinary care, food, water and comfortable housing, SASHA provides the animal residents with affection, social interaction with others of their own species, and a sense of security.
A group of twenty high school students from Northside College Prep joined MFA on Saturday, volunteering for the day. Many of the students had never interacted with a farmed animal before. While their hearts were opened to the sensitive and intelligent nature of farmed animals, their eyes were also opened to the cruel truth behind factory farming systems.
