Animal Sanctuaries

If you are able to, visiting a sanctuary for rescused farmed animals is not only an incredibly fulfilling experience, but also serves as a huge motivator for people not only go or stay vegan, but also encourages us to be more active with animal rights activism, when we see what the victims of animal slaughter are like. We realize that they are just like our dogs and cats, and how calm and hospitable they are.

It may be difficult depending on where you live to visit a farm sanctuary (for instance, if you live in New York City, the closest animal sanctuaries are at least an hour away), but if you ever have time and are able, it's certainly worth the trip.
