 Northern California and Update New York, September 2009 – As we look over the many releases received from which we select those we will form into articles for this publication, there are several impressions that cause us to take the step to use. When we saw this piece, forwarded by our friends at Soy Happy! – who can always be trusted to provide good material – it was the photo that took us aback. At first we thought it was fabricated, but when we looked closely, we could see the cow actually looking at the man with love in her eyes!
That was enough for us to want to share this story with our readers. Farm Sanctuary, dedicated to end cruelty to farm animals and to promote compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy, is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization. Its President and co-founder, Gene Baur, has been a dedicated and effective advocate for farm animals for over 20 years. Thanks to his organization, people are being educated and inspired to take action and laws are being changed. Farm Sanctuary has two farms in the United States: one in Northern California and in upstate New York. There, rescued animals of all types have the opportunity to live their lives fully, in peace, acting as ambassadors to those who visit, letting their histories be an example on why things need to change. The animals at the farm have been rescued from a variety of overtly cruel conditions. Celebrities of all kinds have come out in public support of Farm Sanctuary and its important work. Right now, Kim Basinger, Bill Maher, James Cromwell and Bob Barker are among many others who are urging California's Governor to ban the practice of tail docking on dairy cows. Gene Baur has a new blog and we encourage our readers to check it out and share your comments. It might also be said that those who have visited one of the farms suggest the experience will be a heart-warming one, not to mention potentially, life-changing. SOURCE: Soy Happy!
