Learn More About Pigs

Pigs are so much more complex than many of us give them credit for. They show empathy for others, have a sense of time, can anticipate future happenings, and recognize the faces of other individuals—both pigs and humans! 

In this informative white paper from The Someone Project, learn more about the complex lives of pigs: Thinking Pigs: Cognition, Emotion, and Personality.

Create Change for Farm Animals

We know we can’t save every individual from animal agriculture, but with the help of our supporters, Farm Sanctuary rescues and transforms the lives of as many farm animals as possible while advocating for change for those still suffering.

Life is like a dream for those animals who have grown up in our care, but their experience should be the reality for all. Every farm animal should live free from cruelty and neglect. Help us keep working toward that goal.

Transportation with Compassion

In our rescue work, we sometimes need to transport animals, too. However, we bring animals to places of safety—never slaughter. Besides transporting animals safely to our New York and California sanctuaries, we have brought animals to trusted homes across the U.S. through our Farm Animal Adoption Network. 

“There is no school of rescue,” says Mario Ramirez, Farm Sanctuary’s Director of Sanctuary Environment & Transport. Every rescue and every animal is different, he says, but there are some things we can always do to make transportation as stress-free as possible.

Below, Mario shares some of the ways that we transport with compassion:
