Farm animal sanctuaries are different than a wildlife sanctuary, an equine sanctuary, or a pet animal sanctuary in that they’re typically meant to rescue farm animals from the terrors of factory farms and the animal agriculture industry.

They’re a great place to see another facet of veganism. People can interact with and build compassion for animals that typically end up as someone’s dinner.

This list focuses exclusively on farm animal sanctuaries, and if I list some other kind of sanctuary is listed, like a wildlife sanctuary, it means they also house rescued farm animals.

Something to note, not every single farm animal sanctuary promotes a vegan lifestyle, so I will try to note when they do. Also, just because they don’t specifically mention they’re vegan, doesn’t mean they aren’t.

One more thing, not every sanctuary is set up for visitors. A great rule to follow is to message a sanctuary you’re interested first to see if they can currently accept visitors. Always check their site for details and always send a message if you want to visit .
