Dear John,

I met Safran on his very first day of
life.

I found this newborn calf in a holding
pen at an industrial dairy farm in Southern California nearly
eight years ago. If the frail, helpless calf had spent any time
with his mother, it would have been just a few precious hours.
Like other calves on dairy farms, Safran was taken away from his
mother.

I rushed Safran back to Farm Sanctuary,
where our staff jumped into action! For the first time, he was
shown kindness and love. One of our caregivers spent the night
snuggled up against him in his barn, and we took turns making
sure Safran always had someone by his side.

Thankfully, Safran’s health improved, and
he showed us his strong will to live. He made a full recovery and
is now among the most adventurous and playful members of our
herd. He loves to follow us around, drink straight from our
garden hoses, and groom his friends—cow and human alike!

Safran’s triumph and the way he embraces
every day with utter abandon are testaments to the power of your
love. Caring friends like you have helped make Farm Sanctuary a
community of compassion, where rescued farm animals can heal and
live in peace with dignity. For that, I cannot thank you enough.

I am equally grateful for the incredible
outpouring of generosity we have received during our 2021
Membership Month Challenge. Thanks to every caring friend who has
joined this month, we are getting closer to reaching our $50,000
goal.

But we still have a long way to go. So,
if you have not yet joined Farm Sanctuary with your Membership
Month gift, please don’t wait! Every dollar you give by May 30th
will be MATCHED 100% to help Farm Sanctuary provide rescued
animals like Safran with a lifetime of love and care—and to
continue all of our lifesaving work for others like him. (

This year marks Farm Sanctuary’s 35th
anniversary. Since 1986, friends like you have helped us rescue
thousands of animals like Safran from cruelty and neglect in
America’s factory farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses.

Watching these animals flourish in the
freedom and safety of Sanctuary has been one of my life’s
greatest joys. And, as you and I have gotten to know them as the
unique individuals they are, the world has, too.

The animals you help us rescue are
ambassadors, representing the billions more like them currently
suffering in an unjust food system. By sharing stories of their
fierce will to live and incredible capacity to love, we are
opening hearts and minds to farm animals as sentient, intelligent
beings who deserve protection.

But nothing we do would be possible
without the passion, dedication, and support of kind friends like
you who see the inherent worth in these amazing animals and are
committed to ending their suffering.

That’s what our Membership Month
Challenge is all about: showing how Farm Sanctuary and you can
positively impact the lives of our Sanctuary residents and farm
animals everywhere!

So please, seize this special opportunity
to DOUBLE your impact for the farm animals you love by joining
Farm Sanctuary with a generous Membership Month gift today. (
