Tumbleweed Farm Sanctuary

Industrial agriculture has assumed substantial control over the living conditions of animals destined for consumption, fundamentally reshaping their brief existences. Alarming statistics from the previous year indicate that nearly 9 billion animals met their fate in the United States alone. The growing awareness surrounding the ascendancy of factory farming has unveiled a harsh truth: billions of these animals have been subjected to lives characterized by cruelty and unrelenting harshness. Disturbingly, a recent study revealed that a staggering 99% of these animals were not only slaughtered but also bred, born, and raised within the confines of factory farms.

Regrettably, it is disheartening to discover the prevalence of daily occurrences of animal cruelty. This issue transcends cultural and socioeconomic boundaries. Animal abuse knows no bounds and extends beyond domesticated animals, affecting various species in both rural and urban settings. Disturbingly, it often intertwines with violence, with activities such as dogfighting and cockfighting being closely associated with other forms of organized animal cruelty. Recent research delving into the connection between animal and human violence revealed that a striking 71% of the human subjects examined reported a direct link between the mistreatment of animals and physical abuse against people.
