  forefront of efforts to raise awareness and end factory farming abuses.
  It started a movement to change how society views and treats farm anima
 ls and to transform the lives of humans and other animals. Founded as an
  all-volunteer grassroots effort in 1986\, it was originally funded by s
 elling vegan hotdogs outside of Grateful Dead concerts. Its pioneering i
 nvestigations exposed egregious cruelty to farm animals and led to anima
 l rescues\, starting with Hilda\, a sheep who was discarded on a pile of
  dead animals behind a stockyard. Along with operating farms and caring 
 for rescued animals\, the organization has developed groundbreaking educ
 ation and advocacy efforts\, engaged with dignitaries and celebrities\, 
 and passed the first U.S. laws to restrict factory farming cruelty. Farm
  Sanctuary’s work has been widely covered in media outlets\, including T
 he New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, The 
 Los Angeles Times\, Newsweek\, Time\, NPR\, ABC\, NBC\, CBS\, CNN\, Fox\
 , and many others. It is internationally recognized\, and its work has i
 nspired individuals and organizations around the globe. This book offers
  an inspiring testament to the power of kindness and action\, encouragin
 g readers to consider their own choices and join the movement toward a m
 ore just and humane\n\nMore info: https://www.firstlightaustin.com/event
