Woodstock Farm Sanctuary envisions a peaceful world rooted in respect and justice for all living beings. We rescue farmed animals and give them care and sanctuary, connect animals with people to advance veganism, and advocate for animal rights in alliance with other social justice movements. We welcome visitors to come and meet animals who are most commonly exploited, abused, and killed in animal

agriculture. Our animal residents are given lifelong sanctuary and are treated with respect as individuals. By giving farmed animals the chance to live their lives with dignity and by sharing their stories, we advocate for veganism and aim to reduce suffering for all.

Our yearly campaign about the many issues with the NY State Fair’s “Dairy Cow Birthing Center” is wrapping up for the summer. We’ve made videos, put up billboards, written essays, and continued our fair coalition. Each year we hear more and more people come forward and say we’ve changed the way they view state and county fairs and realize how exploitative they are.

We’re preparing to send our petition asking Wegmans to STOP sponsoring the Dairy Cow Birthing Center. Over 3,000 people have shared it so far so we know you care about this issue as much as we do. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, this is the last chance to do so before we send it! Help us reach our goal of 2,000 signatures speaking up for these cows.

Suzy would like everyone to know that she is VERY UNFAIRLY STUCK INSIDE while healing from her spay surgery last week. She went to the animal hospital at the same time as Penny, her procedure went well, and she is on stall rest for the moment! As you can see, though, there’s no rest in this stall 😅

The hospital invoice from this past visit was around $2148 — every donation counts towards the medical treatment of rescued animals like little Suzy! Your support = their care. (PS you can also send Suzy a gift off our wishlist while she recovers from surgery!)

Penny returned home after a successful eye surgery. The growth was, as vets suspected, squamous cell carcinoma which means we need to closely monitor Penny’s eyes in the future to ensure we catch any new tumors developing. She is doing well and appreciates all the good vibes sent her way while she was at the hospital! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Penny had a mass removed from her eyelid yesterday and is recovering at the animal hospital. The mass will be sent to the lab for analysis so we know whether or not it was cancerous, in case further treatment is needed. Thank you all for sending well wishes and support!! Donate towards Penny’s care on this post or here: https://secure.everyaction.com/tSA0En1akUCO9XA-cUCDSw2 ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Penny’s having surgery today: send support for her hospital bill!

Many of you know Penny from this video of her excitedly running the pasture after we rescued her from a large hoarding and neglect case in 2021. It was a horrific place where she was living alongside hundreds of other animals without adequate food, water, shelter, or proper medical care. Penny blossomed under our care here at Woodstock and is now a confident and self assured seven-year-old.

Recently, she developed a growth on her eye that needs to be surgically removed now before it affects her sight and eye health. The growth is also most likely cancerous and we need to keep it from spreading. We’re bringing her in for the surgery today, and we hope she'll be able to come home soon after. We'll need to continue to monitor her for new growths or other signs of cancer post-surgery.

Penny’s care, and the work we do here is 100% run on the support of people like you. People who care and know that what Penny went through before rescue should never happen to any animal. Send a donation towards Penny’s surgery today right here, or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary.

Stop scrolling and listen to happy rescued ducks enjoying cherry tomatoes 🍅 Our garden (maintained by incredible volunteers!) has been producing an abundance of cherry tomatoes again this year and the residents get to reap the benefits. What’s better - foraging for strewn tomatoes or bobbing for tomatoes in the pool?

Why was this billboard REJECTED?

As the New York State Fair began in Syracuse this past week, we wanted to continue to shed light on the cruel exhibit inside: The Dairy Cow Birthing Center run by the New York Animal Agriculture Coalition. Every year, the Birthing Center puts on this display of cows in labor, forced to give birth in front of large noisy crowds. Mothers and calves are separated within an hour of birth all while volunteers downplay the harsh realities of the dairy industry to curious onlookers.

We worked with We Animals to put up this Jo-Anne McArthur image as an educational billboard in the Syracuse area during the run of Fair. But it was rejected at the last minute by the billboard company as being too "polarizing.”

This reflects the larger issue that we have with the Birthing Center and agricultural fairs in general—those who exploit animals are seen as neutral, and those who oppose exploitation are considered polarizing or extreme when we simply share facts.
We hoped to reach 49,000 people a week with this educational billboard but now can't. Can you please share so we can try to reach that many people online this week?
