4th of July Grand Opening Rescheduled

Jun 23, 2009 - Animal Place is postponing its grand opening from the 4th of July to an, as of yet undetermined, date. We tried to push our timeline forward because Animal Place turns twenty on July 1, 2009. We have realized that it makes more sense for Animal Place to get all the animals settled before we invite our supporters in. The 20th birthday will occur, just at a later date when staff and animals are comfortable with the new sanctuary.

We are sure you will understand, and we will keep you informed as to when the actual grand opening will take place!

Factory farming also has a dubious distinction of being a facilitator for the mutation of viruses, possibly including the current "swine" flu virus.

Hawaii Stops Importing Live Pigs

Mar 26, 2009 - In 2007, Animal Place encouraged our members to support the Handle With Care campaign to stop the transport of live pigs from the mainland states to Hawaii. We are happy to report that the largest importer of live pigs, Hawaii Food Products, has agreed to stop importing live pigs!
