Each and every farm animal at Sunny Meadow was spared from going to a slaughterhouse or being abused and is now living a peaceful, happy life here at the sanctuary. Unlike some sanctuaries, the farm animals at Sunny Meadow are not bought. The only exception to that rule would be if we rescue a lone animal and cannot find a rescue animal for him or her to live with after searching extensively. Farm animals need companions—it is vital to their health and well-being, they cannot live alone. But if animals are bought, saving them is really “feeding the industry” and causes more suffering down the line.
