Story:
Founded in 1989 Animal Place is one of the oldest and largest sanctuaries for farmed animals in the country. Nestled on 600-acres in Grass Valley, CA, Animal Place provides refuge to hundreds of neglected farmed animals. In addition to permanent sanctuary, Animal Place's Rescue Ranch is a 60-acre adoption center, placing needy farmed animals into permanent homes.
Sanctuary is important work, but Animal Place strives to create meaningful change for farmed animals through advocacy and education. Thousands of visitors flock to the sanctuary each year to learn more about the animals and farming. Volunteer classes introduce folks to the more intense ways people can help. Internships are also available.
Every year, we host a popular event, ThanksLiving, for the turkeys as well as several Chicken Care Classes that teach people the basics of chicken care.
We promote veganism through our publications, e-alerts, and cooking classes.
Our mission is simple - to extend compassion to all life!

Difficult to Measure Impact |
|||
|
N
|
I think they have an impact but like much work that is done as part of a movement it is difficult to measure their impact. They don't really work on legislation or public policy unless part of larger coalitions, and there is no way to measure how many people have gone vegan due to this organization's farm tours. The impact might be measured in terms of individual animals saved, but it is a rather small number of animals saved that live on the sanctuary compared to the number of farmed animals killed in California. I think they are having an impact but that it is difficult to measure. | ||
