Terra Farm Sanctuary in Spokane, WA.

From The Farm To The Sanctuary:

Animals go from numbers to names

Animals go from being livestock to being living beings

Animals go from being its to being individuals

A calf who was recently born at a dairy farm being sold at the Enumclaw Livestock Pavilion in Enumclaw, WA.

Animals go from being subjected to premeditated cruelty and destruction to premeditated kindness and aid

Animals go from being subjected to theft of their body and their life to healing of their body and restoration of their life

Animals go from being raised for death to being raised for dignity

A cow who was rescued while pregnant by Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary in Scio, OR gets to keep and have a natural relationship with her offspring for the first time ever.

Animals go from living guaranteed short lives to living hopeful long lives

Animals go from knowing humans as terrorists to knowing humans as guardians

Animals go from regularly feeling scared to regularly feeling safe

A chicken no more than 5 weeks old being hoisted up by their wings and then killed for the annual Kaporos sin-transferring animal sacrifice ritual. This took place in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, NY and the bird ultimately died in an upside down street cone donated by the New York Police Department.

Animals go from being used and disposed to being autonomous and defended

Animals go from separation and segregation to connection and unification

Animals go from filth and disease to cleanliness and thriving

Robin the rooster was rescued in 2018 from the same Kaporos ritual location that was mentioned in the previous photo and he is still alive. He was found alive with a slit throat inside of a sealed trash bag full of dead chickens just a couple minutes before the sanitation department came to pick up all the trash bags full of dead birds to take to a landfill. He was ultimately saved and healed by Penelope’s Place Sanctuary.

Animals go from receiving disregard and hate to receiving consideration and love

Animals go from having their needs ignored and suppressed to having their needs respected and permitted

Animals go from dying in someone else's slaughterhouse to dying in their own sleep

A pig who was just shot by a gun two times at a pig slaughter class in Maine. The class leader shows one of the participants the spot where you want the bullet to ideally land.

Animals go from being chewed up and swallowed to being buried and remembered

Animals go from living a life that should have never began to a life that needed to begin

Animals go from protesting their life to cherishing their life

A rescued pig and their rescuer at Arthur’s Acres in New York share a beautiful moment together.
