This March, five baby birds got their lucky break. Arriving just a day apart, two poults (baby turkeys) and three peeps (baby chickens) escaped cruelty and joined new flocks at Farm Sanctuary. We learned about the turkey poults, Ferris and Faye, through a call from Christine of Second Chance Chickens Microsanctuary in Northern New Jersey. […]| Farm Sanctuary
Every year, businesses across the country cash in on Easter by selling baby rabbits, chicks, and ducklings as novelties. Hundreds are purchased impulsively and treated as disposable goods. Once buyers recognize that these “holiday accessories” have real, long-term needs for care and space, many of the animals are dumped at over-burdened municipal shelters, abandoned on […]| Farm Sanctuary

Rescue Story| Farm Sanctuary
In 2022, a woman inherited a Vermont farm, a quaint property with a tall red barn housing ten cows. Because she wasn’t a farmer herself, she was advised to send the cows to slaughter. Instead, she reached out to Farm Sanctuary.| Farm Sanctuary
By Gene Baur, President and Co-founder Earth Day started in 1970 in response to growing awareness and anxiety about the negative environmental impacts of human activities on the planet.

Sadie had no business being in the business world. The young goat was born on a property owned by a sand and gravel company.

Pregnant, terrified, and alone, Olive cow spent four months in the woods after escaping the cruelty of the dairy industry.| Farm Sanctuary
We see cases like Dixon’s all too often: too many calves lose their families and their lives, just for being born male. He, like so many others, started life on a dairy—where females grow up to produce milk for profit, but where males have no place. Typically, farmers sell these boys, who have no economic […]| Farm Sanctuary

Most farm animals never get to know their families. In today’s animal agricultural systems, farmers instead profit on keeping them apart.
