 Hi Bruce,

With a few basic liability safeguards I see no problem with advertising 

this volunteer opportunity. I agree, the up side trumps any risk.

Cheers, Lee

Thanks and don't worry about the dates for this particular personal volunteer effort... the rescue farm is open and ready to recv volunteers from school groups and individuals every day of the year. I've been there with my son and it is a fantastic very organized place and a good way to spend a few hours! They might be able to help with the Animal Husbandry cause next year. 

They are awesome!

Lorri:  The 14th and 15th are out for the kids, because there's class.  

I mean, what better publicity for our Zoo Magnet parents and students to take part in this. We might have been able to use it to aid in our Animal Husbandry cause. If we'd had more notice, perhaps we could've done something.

I'll get back to you tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Bruce

Bruce - Can you send out this important blast to the Zoo Magnet parents? 

Student and non-student volunteers needed every day... earn community service credit too.

A small organization doing big things!

URGENT FARMED ANIMAL RESCUE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Dozens of volunteers are needed to help Animal Acres rescue, transport, and care for over 150 goats, cattle, chickens, pigs and other animals in urgent need of rescue in San Diego County Thursday, April 15 through Sunday, April 18th.

Right now, these animals are languishing at an abusive hoarder facility for farmed animals. Though the owner called it the "Purple Cow Sanctuary" (PCS), the conditions we witnessed there are worse than many of the "backyard butcher" operations we have seen. 

The animals are extremely thin, infested with parasites, and covered in sores and mange. There is no housing or protection for the animals to escape severe weather conditions - only dilapidated pens and awnings that are falling down. The "feed" barn is filled with old containers of oats, and mice-infested bags of pinto beans. The fenced pens are severely overcrowded, and the goats are being bred to produce milk for the owner. To view a short video and for further information on the case, please visit our website: www.animalacres.org

Please be a farmed animal rescuer by joining us this week to bring these animals to safety. You can help by: 

1. Helping load animals at PCS in San Diego County (Valley Center) beginning on Thursday, April 15th and the last day of loading (hopefully!) on Sunday, April 18th. The loading will be difficult because of the terrain and we cannot do it without volunteers to hold portable gates and chutes to move the goats and pigs. We will need a large team of rescuers - especially on Thursday, April 15 and Friday, April 16 to move the goats. You can either meet us at Animal Acres on rescue days at 8:30 a.m. to carpool (directions are on the VISIT section of our website), or meet us off Interstate 15 at 11:30 a.m. 

>From Temecula; Drive about 18 miles south on I-15.
Take the GOPHER CANYON RD/OLD CASTLE RD Exit, Go 0.2 mi. EAST
FIRST STOPLIGHT there is a parking lot on the right on the corner of Gopher Canyon and Champagne Blvd. -- park in here for rescue carpool (if parking lot is full, park just past on side of road.) 
If you can help any of these days, please email: info at animalacres.org or call 661-269-5404. Rescue volunteers are encouraged to pack food and beverages as the rescue will take several hours each day. 

2. Helping care for the new rescued animals, as well as the current animals at Animal Acres. We have two full time caregivers, and these caregivers are currently needed to provide quality care for the 176 animals currently residing at Animal Acres. We will be DOUBLING our animal population, and at a minimum, it will take two months to rehabilitate the rescued animals (since the animals have mange/parasites) and three to four additional months to place all of the animals into loving forever homes. Once the animals arrive, we will need volunteers every day of the week to help care for the PCS animals and the current animals at Animal Acres. 

Animal Caregiver volunteers need to arrive between 10 - 11 a.m. and commit to a three hour animal care job. Volunteers are welcome to bring a vegan picnic lunch to enjoy with the birds in our courtyard! 

Thank you for being a farmed animal rescuer, too. 

Animal Acres is a Los Angeles farmed animal sanctuary and compassionate living center directed by Farm Sanctuary co-founder Lorri Houston. Thank you for your support.
