Sanctuary Spotlight
Bringing humans and animals together.
Sanctuary Spotlight features stories from sanctuaries around the globe. Sanctuaries bring humans and animals together in such a way to develop relationships and bonds, creating individuals and not exhibits.
These are the stories of survivors and the people who made their rescue possible. Let them show you what vegan advocacy can do.

Chances are you’ve seen the award-winning photography of Jo-Anne McArthur before. Her documentary project, We Animals, is a project that documents animals in the human environment using photography. The objective is, “to photograph our interactions with animals in such a way that the viewer finds new significance in these ordinary, often unnoticed situations of use, abuse, and sharing of spaces.”

Making the Connection
I want my veganism to be about helping others like myself to make the connection, and because I want my own connection to never stop evolving.
