Sanctuary to Support: Fauna Foundation

I was enlightened by an incredibly heart wrenching book called "The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary: A True Story of Resilience and Recovery" by Andrew Westoll. My conviction to do what I can to assist in finding sanctuary for all victims of abuse began here.

Sanctuary: A Place of Refuge

Sanctuary means providing a place of refuge for animals who have come to us from the wild, from private homes, and from the research, agriculture and entertainment industries. Fauna's Sanctuary provides permanent protection for these animals from the use and abuse our culture inflicts upon them as they are considered objects of ownership, sources of food or entertainment, and tools for education and research.

All of Fauna’s Sanctuary residents now enjoy the freedom to be themselves, and are no longer obligated to work, provide food, be butchered, entertain, act as human companions, or be tools to teach or do medical research.
