Buffalo Field Campaign is working to stop the slaughter of Yellowstone National Park's free roaming buffalo by Montana's Department of Livestock. I volunteered to help monitor the buffalo and be ready to document if any hazing arose.
I take photos of the pigs at the sanctuary to be used for promotion so that they can get more volunteers and funding.
Located in Mission, BC, Hearts on Noses (HONs) was established in 1999 as a sanctuary for potbellied pigs. "Mini pigs" were a popular pet in the 1980s, and continue to be bred and sold as companion animals today. However, many purchasers are ill prepared or misinformed about the adult size, behaviours, and needs of potbellied pigs, and fail to carry through with a lifetime commitment. In other cases, these pigs fall into the hands of abusers where they suffer cruelty and neglect.
The sanctuary now provides a home to more than 40 pigs (including potbellied pigs and full size pigs who were destined to become food), as well as a few other animals.

The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary provides a forever home for all types of animals rescued from the farming industry. They will live out their entire lives in a beautiful natural setting treated with kindness and respect.
