I am a member of the organization Farm Sanctuary. It is an organization dedicated to spreading the knowledge about the reality of factory farming. After I became a vegetarian/vegan, I became passionate about my new life style and found out about Farm Sanctuary and really liked what they were doing. They not only spread information to the public about factory farming & inhumane treatment of animals, but they spend a good deal of time actually saving animals from factories & giving them a happier, healthier life. They have a website, it is farmsanctuary.org. I learned about the organization after doing research about becoming a vegetarian and trying to find more information about factory farming. In order to participate in the cause, I have written letters to Virginia legislature about altering the laws in Virginia concerning factory farming health regulations. The organization utilizes the internet, PSAs, e-mails, online news, and online videos.

I couldn't tell precisely, but I wonder if you found out about them through a book or via the Internet?
ReplyDeleteI've definitely become more conscious about locally-grown and sourced food. We have one restaurant here in the Richmond-area that only uses locally-procured goods. I'm hoping that as we move forward, we see the further emergence of local, smaller, even artisan purveyors.
I'm glad you found an organization that speaks your language and engages your passion.
