Farm Sanctuary is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization. Since incorporating in 1986, it has worked to expose and stop cruel practices of the 'food animal' industry through research and investigations, legal and institutional reforms, public awareness projects, youth education and direct rescue and refuge efforts. Farm Sanctuary shelters in Watkins Glen, NY and Orland, CA, provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals, who have become ambassadors for farm animals everywhere by educating visitors about the realities of factory farming.This 16-month calendar features compellingly sweet photographs of the animals that live at the sanctuary, in combination with their touching life stories. Each of the animals highlighted not only possesses a name and an individual personality, but each also conveys a powerful message: that animals are capable of awareness and feeling and utterly deserving of our protection.
