Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary: A Labor of Love – with Andrea Davis (vegan), Part 2 of 2

On today’s program, Andrea tells us about the mission of the sanctuary. “So, we have a dual mission. Our most important part of our mission is catering to, caring for, and providing a safe and smart home for animals who really truly have no place else to go. The second part of our mission is to allow the animals here to advocate for themselves by having meaningful interactions with humans.”

“I could talk all day about how sensitive a pig is or how joyful a duck is. But letting people see that firsthand, letting those animals communicate it from their own behavior, from their own interactions, is going to be so much more powerful than anything that I could ever put into words. And so ultimately, I feel we've been extremely successful in truly giving these animals a voice to advocate for themselves and for other animals of their kind.”

“I would say that every time we have an event, a new vegan is born, whether it's instant or it comes a couple of months later, from the interactions that they have.” “I think that veganism is the thing that will heal so many different human problems and environmental issues. And I think it's that one step in the right direction that makes us all start caring about everything else. I think everything else sort of falls into place environmentally.”

Our most courageous Supreme Master Ching Hai tirelessly reminds us that, to save our world, humans must quickly transition to the compassionate vegan lifestyle. “It is better we concentrate on the solution to save the Earth. We can still do it, if everyone becomes part of the solution, which is the organic life-saving vegan diet. Organic vegan diet, that’s all we need to do, for the time being. And any other green technology, we can slowly develop. We need the solution, which is (the) organic life-saving vegan diet, then our future is transformed. Life will quickly become better than what you could even imagine. Greener, lush, tranquil, contentment, happiness, healthy, and more intelligence, more incredible inventions will come out of it. That’s the outcome. With no more killing, humans and animals alike will flourish in peace, and the world will be restored to beauty and happiness.”
