My husband and I decided to drive up to the Woodstock this past weekend to visit this farm sanctuary after hearing about it on various vegan websites and we weren't disappointed! It's definitely a bit of a trek out there if you're not in the area, but it's well worth it. The farm provides a lot of space for these... More

The guide will be very descriptive about how animals are kept by corporations for slaughter, and about their sexual parts, etc. During our tour, the families with children dropped off the tour after visiting the first two animal...
