As our rescue mission continues in Oakville, Iowa we wanted to give you a glimpse into the incredible efforts of the crew on the ground by sharing this video from one of our coalition partners, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), narrated by Dick Green – IFAW disaster relief manager and the incident commander of our team. Watch out for Farm Sanctuary’s very own Chuck Pappas and Dan D’Eramo, as they work with IFAW, AHA, and ARL-Boston workers to secure and load stranded pigs onto a trailer for transport off the levee!

- Farm Sanctuary
- Farm Sanctuary is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization. Since incorporating in 1986, Farm Sanctuary has worked to expose and stop cruel practices of the "food animal" industry through research and investigations, legal and institutional reforms, public awareness projects, youth education, and direct rescue and refuge efforts. Farm Sanctuary shelters in Watkins Glen, N.Y., and Orland, Calif., provide lifelong care for hundreds of rescued animals, who have become ambassadors for farm animals everywhere by educating visitors about the realities of factory farming. Additional information can be found at farmsanctuary.org or by calling 607-583-2225.

Thank you for saving these pigs. While no pig deserves to live their brief lifespan in a CAFO, these pigs who managed to escape surely deserve a better life now. The good news may be that millions of people have seen the news photographs of pigs desperately trying to swim to safety...maybe a few of those people we realize that bacon isn't worth the suffering it causes.
I made a donation to support your efforts.
Bless you for your concern & action to save these wonderful beings. I have donated--& will donate again to the Farm Sanctuary Pig Rescue Fund.
