Freedom Farm Refuge by: Kristen Bradish

A farm stationed in Israel has allocated all of its efforts to help animals in need. This farm is using their resources and space to house disabled farm animals that other farms have given up because they are seen as useless and a waste of energy to care for. Instead of letting these barn animals get kicked to the curb, this farm has saved dozens of worthy animals who now get to live out the rest of their lives in a loving, naturing home. Many of these animals suffer from missing limbs, blindness, or even just broken bones. When the farm was first created, the founders set out in search of animals who could lead perfectly happy lives if they were just given the proper treatment. The original purpose of this farm was to give the injured animals a comfortable place to call home while they heal and rest. What makes this farm special is that it's run entirely by volunteers and not only does it give disabled animals refuge, but it also works as an educational center. Visitors can come to the farm and learn all about the unique animals that are kept on grounds and see what it takes to keep them happy and healthy.
I love the idea of having farms for animals that need a little extra attention and at the same time, can educate humans who may not know a whole lot about these domestic critters. (It's like Space Farms but without all the garbage and the animals are actually taken care of). This sanctuary will provide comfort to destitute animals in Isreal and hopefully inspire others to create their own freedom farms all around the world.
