In our food system, animals are treated like products. Magik hen and other chickens were put in a plastic bag and endured a terrifying drive in a car trunk. Sadly, all of the birds suffocated — except Magik. But she longed for freedom, once evading her rescuer and flying into the trees. Now at Farm Sanctuary, she’ll always be free. Welcome home, Magik.
If you want a meaningful experience, consider visiting Farm Sanctuary! You’ll meet our rescued farm animal friends and hear their inspiring stories. Plus, you’ll enjoy the fun activities and scenic locales nearby in Watkins Glen, NY, or Los Angeles, CA. Did you know you can even stay in our charming tiny houses or cabins in NY? We hope to see you soon!
Existing USDA programs can do more to support plant-based foods. Use our handy form today to ask Congress to pass the Peas, Legumes, and Nuts Today (PLANT) Act. This critical legislation would ensure that farmers and companies producing plant-based foods are eligible for USDA assistance. Making a difference only takes a minute!
At Farm Sanctuary, love is always given a second chance. Jackie’s son John was born on a slaughterhouse floor, and though they were both rescued, her sick little calf sadly could not survive for long. The heartbroken mom cried out for her baby. But here, Jackie soon met Dixon, an orphaned calf who needed her as much as she needed him.
Trudy turkey is brave. At her former home, a fox attack claimed the lives of all of her flockmates. Her guardian knew she needed a safe home and friends to live with. Now at Farm Sanctuary, Trudy’s heart (she loves to snuggle her human friends!) inspires us daily—and shows everyone she meets why turkeys deserve year-round kindness.
