Our Story

“[T]he present intention is to kill no animals unless they are sick and incurable. If they are in good health or can be cured we keep them and sell them if anyone will buy them. If no one will buy them we give them away to persons who will take good care of them. And if no one will take them as a gift we will keep them and care for them indefinitely."
