Paradise for Farmed Animals & People Who Love Them

About Me

For up-to-date information on Animal Acres please visit our Web Site .
Animal Acres is a farmed animal sanctuary and compassionate living center located just 45 minutes from Los Angeles.
Animal Acres works to promote compassionate living through its farmed animal rescue & refuge efforts, public education & outreach, and advocacy projects to prevent cruelty to farmed animals.
Over 150 rescued farmed animals call Animal Acres "Home Sweet Home" and we invite YOU to become a member of our sanctuary family too! Animal Acres is a volunteer-based organization and we are funded entirely by dedicated animal advocates. You can help by------Pitching in at the next Saturday Volunteer Farm Chore Day,feeding a rescued farmed animal through our Adopt-a-Farmed Animal Project, or byhaving a Barn Stall in your name by becoming a member of our Gandhi Society.
Animal Acres was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary, which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18 years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of animals used for “food production.” Visit us at www.animalacres.org.

"I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals." - Henry David Thoreau

I'd like to meet:

You!! Come meet our farmed animal friends and hear about their rescue stories during our special “meet & greet” tours. Cuddle with a cow, give a pig a belly rub, talk to turkeys — and learn why it’s so important to rescue and protect ALL animals. Animal Acres is open to the public every Sunday and offers one-hour guided tours at 11am and 1pm. No appointment is necessary for Sunday tours. School and group tours (of 10 or more people) are also available by appointment. Please call 661-269-0986 or email us at [email protected] to schedule a school or other special group tour. Thank MOO from all the critters at Animal Acres. Animal Acres also holds a Farm Chore Day every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s another great way to visit the sanctuary and meet the animals by helping take care of them! Volunteers must be 16 years of age of older and arrive by 11 a.m. Animal Acres Members are also welcome to visit Animal Acres by special appointment. Please email us or call if you would like to set up a special visit. If you are not a member, please join Animal Acres today!

Music:

"As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together." - Isaac Bashevis Singer

Movies:

Try Peaceable Kingdom! Other movies about the way farmed animals are treated, and why we should go vegetarian or vegan are: Meet Your Meat and Earthlings."For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love." - Pythagoras

Television:

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." - Albert Einstein

Books:

Have you read Dominion by Matthew Scully? Some other books about farmed animal welfare are Diet for a New America by John Robbins, Mad Cowboy by Howard Lyman or Animal Liberation by Peter Singer."Don't take life. Instead, release birds, fish, wild animals, farm animals doomed to be slaughtered. And also small creatures such as ants and bees. Be diligent in giving them refuge from fear." -Buddhist Monk

Heroes:

"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." - Leo Tolstoy
