Hello Porcine Pal! The New Pig Arrival Guide
Everything you need to know about bringing a new pig into your life!
![Farm Sanctuary was co-founded by Gene Baur and Lorri Houston in 1986 when they rescued Hilda, their first sheep. It was the first sanctuary of its kind, focusing wholly on rescuing and advocating for animals farmed for food.
As of 2021, Farm Sanctuary’s website states that its mission is “[To] pursue bold solutions to end animal agriculture and foster just and compassionate vegan living.” Today, they have sanctuaries in New York and California and at any given time are caring for almost 1,000 animals.
The sanctuaries attract thousands of visitors, interns, and volunteers each year. The New York shelter boasts 275 acres of rolling pastures, forests, an education centre, and accommodation for guests, and the Southern California shelter has 26 acres. Educational events about animals are held at each sanctuary throughout the year.

Drawn from thousands of photos taken over fifteen years, “We Animals” is a book that illustrates and investigates animals in the human environment: those who are used for food, fashion, entertainment, and research, as well as the lucky few who are rescued.
