Thanksliving

Matthew, Sam, and I traveled to Woodstock, NY, over the weekend to attend the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary’s annual ThanksLiving dinner/fundraiser. The event was sold out, and was by all accounts a great success. (Well, maybe not all accounts: my raffle ticket losing streak continues.)

A few celebrity vegans attended and spoke, but the rescued animals living at the farm were the stars of the show. Having begun their lives enslaved, tortured, and destined for slaughter, these fellow animals are leading safe, healthy, happy, and peaceful lives — as they should be, and as we all would wish for ourselves.

It was a wonderful example of what humans can be, and a stark reminder of what we are not yet.

P.S. If any photos came out well, we’ll post them here later.
