If You Care About Farmed Animals, You're in Good Company!

Here are just a few of L.A.'s finest who are speaking out to support Animal Acres rescue, education and advocacy efforts...


"Los Angeles needs a farm animal sanctuary to teach people of all ages that farmed animals need rescue and protection, too. Each year, thousands of visitors are educated and inspired, and hundreds of animals are saved from the cruelties of factory farming. Animal Acres is making tremendous strides in rescuing, educating, and advocating for farmed animals." - Ellen DeGeneres


Alicia Silverstone and Bruno
"I'm pleased to be a supporting member of Animal Acres. This special place gives people a chance to meet the animals, and learn from them. Animals are the best teachers, and the Animal Acres animals are showing people the importance of what they can do every day to make a difference. As a vegan, I believe that what you do with your fork, is fundamentally the most profound decision that we make to change everything. For peoples' health, for the planet, for the animals, and for our own being." - Alicia Silverstone


James Cromwell and Violet
"Millions of suffering farm animals are dependent upon individuals like you and me who know that cows, pigs and chickens feel pain or comfort, or joy or sorrow, just like any other animal. With it's proximity to a major metropolitan area, and the entertainment capitol of the world, Animal Acres is in a unique position to teach millions more that farm animals need protection, and love, too." -James Cromwell


Jorja Fox and Starlight
"I am pleased to be a supporter of Animal Acres ANIMAL CRUELTY INVESTIGATIONS. Animal Acres investigators go to animal "crime scenes" - our nation's stockyards, factory farms, and slaughterhouses. Documenting what most of us don't want to see, their work uncovers blatant animal cruelties and is helping prevent animal suffering." - Jorja Fox

"I'm pleased to be a supporter of Animal Acres, L.A.'s new farm animal sanctuary. This special place is giving city slickers an opportunity to get to know farm animals - and it's hard to eat a pig after you've given one a belly rub." - Bill Maher

"If you gave a kid a lamb and an apple, most likely, the kid would play with the lamb and take a bite out of the apple. We are pleased to support Animal Acres, the Los Angeles farm animal sanctuary, which is teaching kids, and adults, that farm animals are friends, not food." - Tracy and Noah Wyle

"After I hosted an event at Animal Acres and was educated about the horrors of factory farming, I decided to become vegan. I couldn't be healthier or happier!." - Comedian Carol Leifer
