In the meantime, we're counting down to the event with 35 facts about Farm Sanctuary. This week, we reminisce about our early fundraising efforts, honor our resident pigeons' journey to Sanctuary, and celebrate our legal gains for downed cows (with special help from Kim Basinger). More on that below!

6. Farm Sanctuary won the fight to remove "downed" cows from the slaughter line. Previously, cows too sick or weak to stand were being processed for food. The result was the Downed Animal Protection Act (1992) which: "makes it unlawful for any stockyard owner, market agency, or dealer to market, transfer, or hold non-ambulatory livestock that has not been humanely euthanized." We continue advocating for expansion of this law to
cover pigs, sheep, goats, and more.

7. Kim Basinger helped us uplift downed animals-including her adopted calf, Henry-through a televised PSA for Farm Sanctuary.

8. Farm Sanctuary protested an annual Pennsylvania pigeon shoot in the late 1980s. Our New York shelter remains a haven for the descendants of the event's survivors.

9. Early fundraising was a bit different! We sold veggie hot dogs from our VW van at Grateful Dead concerts.

10. In 2011, we restored that same old van and took to the road for a 25th Anniversary tour of the country. Vegan food-and the animal protection and Sanctuary movement-has
come a long way, but our journey goes on!

There is so much more to celebrate. Visit the blog to learn about moments 1-10!

The Power of Sanctuary Celebrating 35 Years
Saturday, October 9, 2021
4:00 p.m. PT / 7:00 p.m. ET

The Sanctuary movement wasn't created by one person or one organization, but by the collective actions of compassionate individuals-by believers like you. You are the Power of Sanctuary.

On October 9, please join us for a virtual celebration-with special guests Board Chair Emily Deschanel, John Lewis, Dominick Thompson, Bob Weir, and others, as we reflect on 35 years of Sanctuary, plus the work involved in creating a more just and compassionate food system.

We'll be honoring amazing changemakers: Brenda Sanders of Thrive Baltimore, Afro-Vegan Society, Vegan Soulfest, and Greener Kitchen and Maggie Baird of Support + Feed for their commitment to food justice and combating food insecurity. You'll hear stories of survival, of hard-won victories, and more!
