Each rescued resident of Farm Sanctuary has a story to tell, and these resilient survivors inspire compassion for the billions of farm animals who still need our help. Join us as we look back at six of our most uplifting rescue stories from 2025.
Nirva was pregnant when she was rescued from cruelty. Today, this caring mom snuggles and adores her lamb, Ashley, born safely at Farm Sanctuary. Support courageous Nirva today, with a special holiday adoption gift.
Factory farming sells a fantasy, but truly happy farm animals are in sanctuary, where they're safe and cared for. See the joy written all over the faces of our rescued residents in these beautiful photos from Farm Sanctuary.
A turkey was set free in Los Angeles, not to live, but for people to catch for a Thanksgiving dinner. Thankfully, a kind family chose to save his life, and this gentle bird is getting vet check-ups before coming to sanctuary.
If passed, the dangerous "Save Our Bacon Act" would put hard-won farm animal protection laws like California's Proposition 12 at risk. But your voice can make an impact, so please join us in speaking out right now.
Each Thanksgiving since 1986, our Adopt a Turkey Project has empowered people across the country to support a turkey instead of eating one. This year, our campaign inspiring kind holiday choices reached millions by putting compassion for turkeys in the headlines, from the Associated Press, to ABC News, People, NBC Los Angeles, Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Life, and more.
