We all love the idea of farm sanctuaries, those wonderful places where rescued animals can live out their lives in peace.
We know the lives of the animals are changed. Another effect of farm sanctuaries is the way we see animals. People who are actually encountering animals and interacting with them are seeing them as real living beings for the first time.
Attitudes are changing. We know that the meat in the store comes from somewhere, someone. It is becoming less acceptable that they be treated badly and deprived of any chance of happiness or even comfort.

It will take a long time to change everyone. The important thing is that change is happening at all.
Sanctuaries rescue animals, but maybe on some level they are rescuing us.
