animal sanctuaries
- Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary - Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary is a leader in the movement to end the unnecessary euthanasia of pets in Connecticut.
- Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary - Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary (WFAS) is a shelter that provides care, rehabilitation, and sanctuary for neglected, abused and discarded farm animals. Our purpose is to promote farm animal welfare and educate the public about how animals are treated to become our food.
Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains in the famous town of Woodstock, New York, WFAS takes in "food-production animals" such as cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep, and goats. Most are rescued from the neglect and abuses of factory farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses. WFAS is a place where people can come face to face with these animals that most only know as "dinner" and learn about the devastating effects of modern-day agribusiness on the animals, the environment and our health. - Farm Sanctuary - Farm Sanctuary was founded in 1986 to combat the abuses of industrialized farming and to encourage a new awareness and understanding about "farm animals." At Farm Sanctuary, these animals are our friends, not our food.
Farm Sanctuary is America's premier farm animal protection organization. It operates farm animal shelters in upstate New York and northern California, and it wages campaigns to stop factory farming and animal abuse. The organization has an active visitor and education program, and promotes vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
