RESCUED is a (pending) 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit corporation dedicated to educating the general public of the inherent abuse involved in the farming of non-human animals, as well as providing safe haven for individual farmed animals rescued from abusive situations.
We strive to raise awareness of the plight of animals on farms though the use of published literature, self-produced films, speaking engagements, classroom workshops, sanctuary tours, investigations, open rescues and outreach campaigns.
We (intend to) operate a farmed animal sanctuary to provide temporary and permanent residence for rescued cows, pigs, goats, sheep, turkeys, chickens and ducks.
Our mission is to promote the ideal of Animal Liberation as the only true solution to end the abuse of animals. Until animals are respected and viewed as individuals, with emotions and desires of their own, rather than commodities or products for human use and consumption, they will continue to be abused and needlessly killed.
RESCUED stands apart from other advocacy and rescue groups in that we are not, nor will we ever be, interested or involved in Animal Welfare issues. We, as an organization, are not interested in how humanely an animal may be treated during their life, a blade to their throat feels the same, regardless of how they were raised. Aside from "Humane" and "Free Range" labeling on animal flesh and byproducts being largely arbitrary the ability to eat grass, feel sunshine, and drink clean water are all negated when the individual is subject to a violent and premature death. There is a very real danger to animals lives by promoting the idea of Humane or Ethically raised meat, dairy and eggs. It allows for people to believe that it is ok to needlessly kill animals as long as they were treated well during their lives, which perpetuates the idea that animals are products and are here for human use.
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men."
-Alice Walker
We are currently working on creating a line of literature that will be available for free, or for a small donation.
We feel that one of the most effective forms of educating people on the plight of animals is through printed leaflets, pamphlets, magazines and posters.
We hope to have all of our literature printed on recycled paper using plant-based inks, but we need help with covering the costs. If you can contribute towards printing cost that helps us help other tremendously.
Please consider donating through the paypal button below.
We are also working on a short film exposing the abuse inherent in the farming of animals for food.
This first film will focus primarily on the horrific treatment egg laying chickens must endure on battery farms and in free-range operations.
We could use a tremendous amount of help with pulling this film together and we encourage you to get in touch if you would be willing to contribute in any way. Again covering the cost of production will fall on us at RESCUED, unless we receive financial support from individuals like you.
We will be involved in the tour taking place in Mexico in January/February of 2011.
We hope to have our initial literature printed in English and Spanish as well as have our first film completed by this time.
Pleas consider making a donation towards our work in trying to raise awareness for animals suffering and dying on farms throughout the world.

LEATHER:
There is no denying it; meat is the dead flesh of an animal that was brutally killed in order to end up on your plate.
Most animals raised for their flesh in the US are forced to live in terribly cramped and filthy conditions for the entirety of their lives.
The vast majority of animals in their situation never knew their own mothers, as they were either pulled away within a few days of being born or were hatched in an intensive hatchery alongside thousands of other newborns looking for their mothers.
As they are forced down the line to what many of them undoubtedly know is their own death, panic sets in. As virtually no creature wants to die and many will fight to survive.
The horrific idea of being looked upon, raise and killed as if you were a product with no feelings or desires of your own is more than most people can bear. To think this all happens so that people can consume needlessly another creatures flesh is sickening.
