Causes: Animals, Wildlife Sanctuaries
Mission: Rooterville's mission is to encourage compassion for ALL animals. Factory farming is the greatest source of the most egregious animal cruelty on the planet, killing over 10 billion animals every year just in the USA. The best thing we can do to help animals, our own health and the environment is to adopt a plant-based diet!
Results: Rooterville has had two great events which each hosted approx. 250 people, we have hundreds of visitors and volunteers every year and we have passed out over 300,000 flyers and expect to hand out thousands more to people at pet expos and students at the Univ. of FL and Santa Fe college campus' encouraging them to adopt a compassionate, plant-based diet. We are excited that our new billboards will be going up soon on I-75 and I-95 with cute pictures of baby farm animals and puppies and kittens, asking viewers the question: "Why love one but eat the other?" We rescue dozens of animals every year who have no other hope and many who have endured terrible abuse and suffering. Visit our website to see some of the stories of these "lucky" ones who serve as ambassadors for all animals being raised for food, eggs and dairy products. Every year we show the film: "Farm to Fridge" to hundreds of people and the documentary in which Rooterville was featured, "Eating Mercifully" has been shown to millions!
Geographic areas served: North Florida and the world!
Programs: The sanctuary is home to over 100 rescued farm animals and we have at least two events every year: Boo at the Roo and Hoggy Holidays. We are open Sat & Sun from 10AM til 2PM weather permitting. Tours are at 11 and 1.Suggested donation is $15 pp. Private tours and visits are welcome by appointment. You can stay overnight with us in our new covered wagons! They are luxurious and include private bath. We have many volunteer opportunities. Meeting the animals is a fun, educational and, we hope, life-changing experience for thousands of people every year. Our goal is to reduce animal suffering by promoting a healthful whole-food, plant-based diet. By sharing our animal ambassadors with visitors and information about industrial agriculture, we hope people leave and make kinder choices in their daily lives.
