This past Saturday, farm animals were treated in a big way – when celebrities came together to celebrate Farm Sanctuary’s anniversary. Attendees of the 25th Anniversary Gala dined on a three-course gourmet vegan dinner while honoring the organization’s 25 years of critical work for farm animal welfare.
“This is as much a celebration as a recognition that we are in the midst of a major awakening about the food we put in our bodies and what it means for the world around us,” said Gene Baur, co-founder of Farm Sanctuary. “Twenty-five years ago I couldn’t have predicted the profound effect Farm Sanctuary would have on how our society views and treats farm animals. We still have a long way to go and events like this are important milestones on the road to renewing our empathy and compassion.”
