The 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 factory farming industry through research and investigations, legal and legislative actions, public awareness projects, youth education, and direct rescue and shelter efforts.
