One of the greatest joys of motherhood is watching your kids grow up. Since coming to Farm Sanctuary, Cynthia goat has raised her little boy, Bruce, into a strong, kind, and vibrant adult. He’s the kind of child who’d make any parent proud, the light of her life.

The public’s love for bacon comes at great cost to pigs like Emmett and Wyatt.

Bella and Vector—two sweet hens born with cross beaks—are #BetterTogether.

Cows are a common, peaceful sight along country roads but few people consider the path after pasture.

Tilly and Nilly—two young Cornish Cross chicks who likely survived the same chicken farm—are just about as similar as their rhyming names.

Avril cheated death three times—first evading potential slaughter, then surviving a wildfire, and lastly overcoming a life-threatening leg injury.

Bitsy was just a piglet when several siblings purchased her and a group of pigs to raise for meat. For reasons unknown, though, her guardian changed his mind. Maybe she won him over. Regardless, she was never slaughtered.

On July 20, 2020, a massive fire razed a New Jersey egg farm—killing almost 300,000 trapped hens.

Before coming to Farm Sanctuary, Freddie and Lenny led parallel lives. The Jersey and Ayrshire calves were born around the same time—each at separate dairy farms in New York State.

Given her prognosis, it’s surprising that Appa is still alive: most farmers would opt to send a disabled animal like Appa to slaughter—and “replace” her with a healthy animal—rather than pay for specialized care.
