On episode six of our Sanctuary Tails blog video series, Reel Life at Farm Sanctuary, California Shelter Director Leanne Cronquist makes the morning rounds. Watch as eager animals pour out of their barns, happy to greet the day! The pigs tend to take their time getting up, but you’ll meet Lil' Bud, one of our West Coast sanctuary's oldest pigs, who likes to get up early to start grazing while his friends laze in the sun.

Great video! When Leanne opens the gate, the animal's behavior reminds me of a group of children eagerly waiting to go play in the field. Love, Love, Love!

It´s wonderful to watch this video, to see how the animals and people live and work. =)
But the background-music in the video sometimes is so loud it´s hard to hear what the woman says.
Wish you all the best! :)

I hope some day soon all animals can live like this, side by side with their human companions. Thank you for doing this and showing to all people. More will follow your steps!

It's so great to see farm animals in a positive fun light as a vegan here - these are good videos to show to my carnivore friends and then serve a vegan dinner - They won't watch the horror DVD's I have about how farm animals are treated but they'll watch these....love and gratitude.

A PARADISE! Watching this episode makes me remember my own youth doing the same thing in a small farm. How happy were the animals there, and how happy waI taking care of them. But such farms don't exist any more, only sanctuarys can offer animals a peaceful life with love and happiness.
THANK YOU!

That was delightful. Some day I need to come visit, since I live about ten miles from you!
