Meet some of the free-roaming animals who we have rescued at FAR

Farm Animal Rescue is home to over 100 rescued pigs, cows, goats, sheep and chickens who have been rescued from the animal agriculture or food industry. Read their stories here...

James

James was part of a group that escaped from a live export truck. He is still best friends with his escapee buddies but has never really been into being around people. James prefer to spend his days grazing with his friends and keeping an eye out for low branches.

When they arrived at sanctuary they […]
