We can’t all save thousands of animals like the sanctuaries that provide rescue and refuge, but there are other important ways to fight the harms of animal agriculture. You can make an impact right now!
Simple actions taken in your everyday life can help protect animals, people, and our planet.
We’re here to help! Try these easy and effective ways to help farm animals today.
1. Choose plant-based foods
Picking foods free of meat, dairy, and eggs is the most effective way to oppose the harms of factory farming. Each time you choose a vegan meal, you are protecting farm animals—and there are so many delicious, nutritious, and sustainable plant-based options to choose from!
2. Spread the word
Some people don’t get to meet farm animals face to face, but sharing content that shows these animals as the sentient, social, and lovable individuals they are raises awareness and inspires compassion. Follow us @farmsanctuary on social media and start sharing!
3. Safeguard animal protection laws
The Food Security and Farm Protection Act (formerly EATS Act) would nullify existing animal protection laws and potentially end worker, community, and environmental protections. Use our handy form to tell your elected officials to reject this dangerous legislation today.
4. “Adopt” a rescued farm animal
Sanctuary is a promise. It’s lifelong care, food, healing, and shelter for animals who have survived unimaginable cruelty. When you symbolically adopt a farm animal, you sponsor their care and help us advocate for those still suffering within animal agriculture.
5. Attend or support vegan events
Finding community helps boost our confidence, fosters connection and support, and increases our effectiveness as animal activists. Look for virtual events or those near you, from veg fests to vegan potlucks, film screenings, and more. Then share, attend, or volunteer!
6. Volunteer with a farm animal sanctuary
Farm animal sanctuaries like ours rely on generous supporters and those who donate their time and energy to our mission. Whether on-site at our New York or California sanctuary or from your own community, we have exciting opportunities to volunteer.
7. Wear your message of compassion
Sometimes, just wearing a T-shirt with a thought-provoking message can spark a meaningful conversation about farm animals or plant-based living. Browse our online shop for gear that does good, spreading kindness and supporting our mission.
