About Eden Farmed Animal Sanctuary
Eden Farmed Animal Sanctuary is a not-for-profit limited company founded in 2008.
Our vision is for a world in which the rights of other animals are respected, primarily their right not to be the property of humans. We work towards a world in which humans are vegan, and other animals are no longer bred to be used as commodities such as food, clothing, research, education, entertainment, labour etc. We envisage a world in which free living animals thrive, and humans and other animals co-exist in a healthy environment. Our mission is to use the information and insights that the rescued animals on our vegan sanctuary provide about their sentience and needs, in such a manner that our public presence reflects the need to completely and rapidly abolish all animal use by humans everywhere through anti-speciesist, animal rights advocacy, and vegan education.
