Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Founded in the famous town of Woodstock, New York, WFS takes in "food-production animals" such as cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep, and goats. Most are rescued from the neglect and abuses of factory farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses. WFS is a place where people can come face to face with these animals that most only know as "dinner" and learn about the devastating effects of modern-day agribusiness on the animals, the environment and our health.
Results: Hundreds of farm animals have been rescued, rehabilitated and cared for and thousands of visitors have come to visit us and learned about the horrific treatment of animals who are raised for food.
Programs: Animal rescue and caregiving - includes caregivers staff, veterinary visits and supplies, ongoing food and shelter for over 200 formerly neglected, abused or abandonedfarm animals. Also included in expenses are efforts for permanent home placement, as well as emergency expenditures to assit in small and large-scale animal rescue, including transportation, veterinary care and temporary housing.
education and outreach - trained staff take visitors on tours of the farm from april 1 through october 31, interweaving individual rescue stories with the realities of billions of animals just like the ones here. Further outreach includes hosting school and community groups, conducting workshops, and creating electronic and printed media on the topics of factory farming, veganism, and the environmental impact of modern-day agribusiness. Finally, we attend outside conferences to spread this information to other areas of the country.
