What we are doing:
We are rescuing and accommodating animals at our Animal Sanctuary who were used, exploited, abused or abandoned in different situations and we are searching for solutions for all of them, also for those who we can’t accommodate on our Sanctuary. In most of the cases they arrive sick and with badly physical and psychological traumas which require special veterinary care and treatment and which need a long time to heal. They also need enough space to satisfy their basic instincts something that an animal shelter or a Spanish “protectora de animales” (some kind of animal shelter only for dogs and cats) can’t offer them. We also created a space of awareness, respect and education on the Sanctuary in order to sensitize the people by giving them the chance to get to know these animals in a natural environment where they can be themselves and show all their emotions without fear. This is something they can never do when being exploited, then they are in situations where their only emotions are fear and anxiousness. We opened this space for society so as to give it the opportunity to live and experience the interaction with non-human animals as to evoke empathy and to cross the boundaries of speciesism. We tell visitors and volunteers the real stories of each inhabitant to enable an approach without barriers and the development of empathy. We describe all their physical and psychological traumas deriving from the exploitation they were submitted to and show the visitors and volunteers documentaries about the stories of millions of victims of speciesism.
