 These
are the stories of factory-farmed animals
that escaped a terrible fate. Thanks to
caring individuals their stories had happy
endings. They now live in sanctuaries.
In today’s factory farms, animals
are raised in extreme confinement without
space to move around, and most never feel
soil or sunshine. More»

Bubbles’s
Story |
| |
|
| |
|
Bubbles and 65 other tiny turkeys
forever escaped a thankless
fate at holiday dinner tables
when we discovered them one
dewy fall morning in boxes left
on the front stoop of Farm Sanctuary’s
New York Shelter hospital, where
they landed safely in a world
entirely different from the
one they had known.

Teresa’s
story
Teresa is one of 167 pigs that were the winners in a dramatic showdown between
the animal advocates
and the pork industry
just outside of
Washington, D.C.
The pigs were being
transported from
a factory farm in
North Carolina (the
country's largest
pork production
state) to a Pennsylvania
slaughterhouse.
On route, the driver
parked the triple-decker
trailer on a street
on Washington, D.C.,
and then abandoned
the trailer leaving
the animals in the
hot sun without
water or basic care.

Maxine’s
Story
New York City police and firefighters
tracked Maxine down after calls
poured into NYPD dispatchers
about a cow on the loose in
the borough. It took nearly
an hour to corral her, and she
was taken to the Manhattan branch
of the New York City Animal
Care & Control.

Queeny’s
Story
She made a daring dash from
a New York City slaughterhouse
in Queens…and won the
hearts of thousands of people
who joined her quest for freedom.
We're talking of course about
"Queenie", a young
cow who was slated for slaughter
at Astoria Live Poultry, a meat
market that keeps live animals
and allows customers to choose
the animals they want butchered.
