YEAR IN REVIEW
2014 was a year of great progress for farm animals across the country. Thanks to your help and caring, Farm Sanctuary was
able to continue our lifesaving rescues of abused animals, provide exemplary care at our three shelters, and implement strategic
educational and advocacy programs to increase awareness of farm animal issues and advocate on their behalf. We are proud to
share our financial standing for fiscal year 2014 and some of the highlights that you helped make possible for farm animals.
Your support made 2014 a success!
You were there with us and helped us give hundreds of abused
and neglected farm animals in critical situations and conditions
a second chance through our Emergency Rescue Team and
share their stories with the world — animals such as:
Sweety, a blind dairy cow rescued from a
farm in Canada, where she had spent
eight years knowing nothing but
fear and isolation, and was
due to be slaughtered for
meat;
•
More than 80 hens who fell
off a transport truck onto the
Staten Island Expressway
and required urgent care;
•
Liam, a malnourished sheep,
found abandoned in the winter
cold, his horns growing into his
head with a hole in his body
cavity due to a burst urethra;
•
More than 300 “spent” hens
rescued from a Pennsylvania farm;
•
Chandini, a beef calf, rescued
from a New York City live market,
a storefront slaughterhouse, where
customers select live animals to be
slaughtered onsite; and
•
Gwendolyn and Gavin, two goats
rescued following a New York State
cockfighting bust.
You helped us spread the advocacy video
What Came Before, which was hailed
by the Humane League as the most
effective at inspiring requests for
vegetarian resources.

We weren’t surprised to learn “fish perception and cognitive
abilities often match or exceed other vertebrates,” as evidenced
by Farm Sanctuary’s Someone Project. But when results were
published in Animal Cognition, the world heard fish deserve
respect, too.

Ari, after
You were there when we defeated
potential or proposed “ag-gag” bills
which
threatened
investigations
of agriculture facilities in Arizona,
Colorado,
Indiana,
Kentucky,
New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania,
Tennessee,
and
Vermont. We heard your voice when
we and fellow coalition members sued
Idaho over its unconstitutional “ag-gag”
law. You stood beside us when Farm
Sanctuary and fellow plaintiffs declared
legal victory against producers who left
50,000 egg-laying hens to die in a Turlock,
CA, facility. And you were there when Farm
Sanctuary and fellow animal advocates
defended California’s ban on battery-cage
eggs against a challenge from the State of
Missouri.
Thank you for helping us make the
world a more compassionate place for
all farm animals!
