Review for Farm Sanctuary Inc, Watkins Glen, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My children and I are sponsers for Farm Sanctuary Animal Shelter by donating money to help them take care of the many animals they rescue from factory farming. We live in Sweden, but when we visited the US, we took a trip to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen and were given a tour of the Farm and even got to volunteer -- we got to clean out a duck swimming pool and feed apples to some huge pigs that are among the few who are allowed to live to grow to full size nowadays. At Thanksgiving time Farm Sanctuary has a programme where you can sponser a turkey -- instead of eating one. There is so much more to eat than turkeys and by not eating meat, the food resources go so much further to help people have more to eat.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

gaining information about becoming vegan and changing my lifestyle accordingly to help animals avoid factory farming, which also helps people in the long run as the world's food supply lasts longer.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The updates on individual animals and how I have been able to help them in concrete ways.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

open and friendly

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Use it for widespread educational/informational material -- bring the farm to more people. Also, build more rescue centres

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months
