Liberation Sanctuary is currently home to 138 animals. In this short 14 second video, all of the animals who reside in the main paddock are visible. That’s 13 cows, 14 sheep and 7 alpacas. With 45 acres of hills and forest to roam, having them all visible from one spot at one time is sometimes a rare occurrence!

Sound on for a happy “Hello” grunt from Forrest!
You may notice Forrest’s bed here resembles that of a dog kennel, but that’s not the only likeness pigs share with dogs. Pigs are highly intelligent, even more so than a dog, and can be trained to sit, amongst other things. They are also very social beings, capable of forming loving bonds with their fellow pigs and other animals, including us humans, and they too loveeeeee belly rubs and ear scratches.
If you wouldn’t eat a dog, don’t eat a pig, or any other sentient being, because they are no different in all ways that count, and they deserve the same love and moral consideration. Visit veganeasy.org and make the switch to vegan today!

Liberation Sanctuary is home to 11 Isa brown hens, Ginger, who has been here for a few years and 10 who arrived earlier this year, having been rescued from a battery cage farm. These girls were only young when they were rescued. They were small and beginning to lose their feathers from the burden daily laying had on their tiny bodies and from the filthy, dark, cramped cages they were being kept in.
Now, these girls get to experience a life of love and freedom. Their feathers have grown back and they are the sweetest little ladies, full of curiosity, always following as you make your way around the Sanctuary.
Every year on the second Friday in October, the International Egg Commission promotes “World Egg Day” encouraging people to consume eggs, despite the mounting evidence that eggs are not good for health and ignoring the exploitation of the 8.3 BILLION laying hens kept on commercial layer farms to produce eggs for human consumption.
Laying hens are raised solely to lay eggs. They are kept either in barren wire battery cages, sheds or semi-outdoors (called free-range). Their parents (breeders) are kept in crammed conditions until they are killed. The hens become red and raw from constant mating. They lay fertile eggs which hatch to become laying hens.
Half of the chicks hatched are male, who are useless to the industry because they don’t lay eggs. They are disposed of either by being gassed, or dropped into industrial shredders and ground up while fully conscious.
Laying hens now lay around 300 eggs per year, instead of the 12 or so once laid by their jungle fowl ancestors. Many develop severe health problems such as peritonitis, tumors, egg binding, uterine prolapse, depositing of an egg osteoporosis, bone fractures and occasionally skeletal paralysis. Despite a lifespan of up to ten years, these hens are sent to slaughter at about 18 months of age, when they are no longer considered ‘profitable’.
If you’re ready to give up eggs for good an
