Thank you for visiting our 2010 Walk for Farm Animals - Wash DC fundraising page!

We're participating in the Walk to help Farm Sanctuary raise awareness about the realities of factory farming.

Factory farming has a dire effect on people living in rural areas next to CAFO's (confined animal feeding operations) as well as the environment and, obviously, the farm animals.  It's one thing to operate a humane and sustainable farm, it's unacceptable to industrialize that.  The results are horrendous to everyone.

The annual Walk for Farm Animals helps fund Farm Sanctuary's education and advocacy efforts.

Farm Sanctuary is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization. Since incorporating in 1986, Farm Sanctuary has worked to expose and stop cruel practices of the "food animal" industry through research and investigations, legal and institutional reforms, public awareness projects, youth education, and direct rescue and refuge efforts. Farm Sanctuary shelters in Watkins Glen, New York, and Orland, Calif., provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals, who have become ambassadors for farm animals everywhere by educating visitors about the realities of factory farming.

I hope you will make a pledge of support for farm animals in need by making a donation for my participation in the 2010 Walk.
