Animal Acres

December 21st, 2009

Here’s a shot of a cute little Pygmy goat at Animal Acres, a sanctuary for rescued farm animals located 45 minutes north of Los Angeles.  For those that have never been, Animal Acres is a really special place, particularly for Kim and me.  Being able to spend time with these animals (they’re open to the public every Sunday), whether it be petting a pig or feeding a goat or talking with a turkey, completely reaffirms our decision to be vegetarian because there’s no denying that these creatures have unique and individual personalities, much like any cat or dog.  Personally knowing these animals, it’s now impossible for us to ever think of them again as mere meat products created to be bred for slaughter in factory farms simply to satisfy our taste buds.

We’re so grateful that there’s a place like Animal Acres out there.   Over the past several years, we’ve been extremely fortunate to have done to several events with them under the banner of Kim’s bakeshop, and needless to say, we’re really looking forward to working with them in the new year to come.
