A Humane Hero’s “Why” & Inspiring Household Go to to Animal Place
Lengthy-time month-to-month supporter Anne Donjacour grew to become a Humane Hero after an inspiring go to to Animal Place a number of years in the past. Upon visiting, she “fell in love with the residents and realized that she wasn’t aligning together with her intentions to help animal welfare.”
Anne returned together with her household for a personal tour in July. With grandchildren aged 4 and 7, she puzzled how their expertise could be, studying in a hands-on approach that farmed animals, just like the residents they’d be assembly, have been being killed en masse on daily basis—that “meat” got here from beloved creatures. The schooling heart “allowed her grandchildren and their dad and mom to discover the difficulty of animal farming at their very own tempo,” Anne shared, and located their tour information to be “delicate and age-appropriate.”
Accessibility for his or her mobility-impaired member of the family was equally as necessary for his or her go to. Anne felt the tour was very accessible for him, as “he might stroll as a lot as he needed and get a experience when he wanted.”

Her favourite psychological picture from their go to was when the entire flock of sheep got here galloping excitedly over the hill to greet them.
“The ultimate piece of mild schooling and encouragement to eat a plant-based weight loss program got here within the type of scrumptious free meals samples to take house. Even probably the most meat-based eater within the household was excited to attempt them out,” Anne shared. She summed up their expertise as “terrific” and stated that “assembly the animals was a thrill for everybody!”
Anne says that “being a month-to-month donor lets her observe her values with extra leisure.” To hitch her and our group of over 1,000 month-to-month supporters in sustaining our sanctuary year-round, change into a Humane Hero!
