Billions of animals suffer on factory farms every year, yet most of us rarely get to connect with farmed animals as individuals, each with a unique personality and the desire to enjoy life doing things that come naturally to them.
A recent BuzzFeed article showcases photos of 10 lucky animals who have been rescued from abusive situations by Farm Sanctuary, and are living out their lives in peace. These fortunate rescues show us the happy endings so rarely seen on today’s factory farms.
Earlier this year, MFA had a special opportunity to aid in the rescue of a very lucky piglet named Lucy, who was found running through the streets of Riverside, California. After a kind person rescued her from a local animal shelter and provided a temporary home for her, we jumped at the chance to help this piglet by bringing her to Animal Place, a wonderful farmed animal sanctuary in northern California.
Farmed animals are as friendly and intelligent as the dogs and cats we all know and love. The best action compassionate people can take to help protect animals from abuse and neglect is simply to stop eating them.
