Reseña del libro "Farm Sanctuary: Forty Years of Hope and Healing (1986-2026) (en Inglés)"
A collection of over 150 inspiring and life-changing images and poignant stories reflecting Farm Sanctuary's forty years of rescue, education, and advocacy efforts to end the disastrous effects of animal agriculture on animals, people, and the planet and to encourage a more just and sustainable food system. For forty years, Farm Sanctuary has been at the forefront of efforts to raise awareness and end factory farming abuses. It started a movement to change how society views and treats farm animals and to transform the lives of humans and other animals. Founded as an all-volunteer grassroots effort in 1986, it was originally funded by selling vegan hotdogs outside Grateful Dead concerts. Its pioneering investigations exposed egregious cruelty to farm animals and led to animal rescues, starting with Hilda, a sheep who was discarded on a pile of dead animals behind a stockyard. Along with operating farms and caring for rescued animals, the organization has developed groundbreaking education and advocacy efforts, engaged with dignitaries and celebrities, and passed the first US laws to restrict factory farming cruelty. Farm Sanctuary's work has been widely covered in media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Time, NPR, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, and many others. It is internationally recognized, and its work has inspired individuals and organizations around the globe. This book offers an inspiring testament to the power of kindness and action, encouraging readers to consider their own choices and join the movement toward a more just and humane world for everyone. A powerful retrospective that chronicles Farm Sanctuary's humble beginnings in 1986 to its leading role in the fight for ethical, sustainable, and compassionate food systems, Farm Sanctuary: Forty Years of Hope and Healing features powerful images, personal reflections from activists and supporters, and moving commentary on the evolving and life-changing landscape of animal agriculture.
