A big thank you to everyone who contacted Lollypop Farm about their policy of serving meat at events while also rescuing and adopting out farmed animals. Your voice is being heard! The executive director has been inundated with emails and inquiries about this policy.
Keep up the good work and continue to contact Lollypop Farm and write a letter to the editor of the local paper, if you can. Visit our website for ways you can help!

Tell Land O'Lakes & Challenge Dairy to stop being cruel to baby calves |
|
Dairy calves are removed from their mothers after birth. In California, thousands end up at Mendes Calf Ranch. On any given day, 12,000 calves are housed in crates so tiny they can barely turn around. The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) has filed a complaint in Tulare County's Superior Court that the treatment of these calves is in violation of state anti-cruelty laws, which requires all animals be provided adequate exercise space.

| Factory Farm Animation |
|
This is a cute animation about factory farming and pollution. While we do appreciate the Sierra Club making an anti-factory farming animation, we would love to see them change their position on hunting (they support it) and the treatment of farmed animals. |
Rescued hens settling in new homes
|
|
 We don't know how long the hundred plus hens Animal Place rescued were used for producing fighting roosters, but we do know life is looking up for them!
Nearly half of the rescued hens and chicks have been placed in permanent, loving homes. All too often, the fate of confiscated fighting dogs, roosters and even puppies, hens and chicks (animals who have never been fought) is death. It's nice to know these birds are being given a second chance!
We've received several updates from adopters. From one adopter, "Our new family members - Coppertop, Disco, Penny and Blizzard - are doing
extremely well. Two of the hens figured out how to get into the henhouse that
first evening, and the other two went in all by themselves the following night."
Birds are still available for adoption in the northern California area. We have possible homes for approximately thirty more birds, but we will still have birds remaining! If you are interested in adopting, please contact us at info@animalplace.org.
