Where Pigs Fly

WHERE PIGS FLY IS A RESCUE SANCTUARY DEDICATED TO THE SHELTER AND CARE OF FARMED ANIMALS IN NEED. LOCATED IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. WE ARE A NON-PROFIT, REGISTERED CHARITY.

Our Mission

Driven by a simple philosophy that all animals should be treated with compassion and respect, our mission is two-fold. At the core is our hands-on work of rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for farmed animals from cruelty, abuse and neglect. We are also committed to education. We passionately believe knowledge is the power to change the way our society views and treats farmed animals.

Rescue

We rescue farmed animals from cruelty, abuse and neglect. The animals enjoy 100 acres of open pasture, receive emergency and long-

term care, enjoy human and animal companionship and are forever safe from exploitation. They are free to be themselves and live the life every farmed animal deserves – free from harm and suffering.

Educate

Visitors to the sanctuary will learn about the many aspects of animal rescue, rehabilitation and animal welfare in general.

Inspire

Our animals are ambassadors for the millions of farmed animals who have no voice. Their unique stories raise awareness of

their sentience and highlight the suffering that continues unabated in animal agricultural industries. We hope their stories of rescue and rehabilitation will inspire change in the roles we play, and can play, in the lives of farmed animals.

2021 – A Reflection

6 January 2022

We wanted to take a moment to reflect on 2021 and share our gratitude for your continued support. Over the last year, with your generosity and kindness, we were able to: -rescue and rehabilitate over 90 farmed animals from cruelty and neglect, collaborate on many additional rehomings and provide daily care and shelter to nearly 200 rescued farmed animals that call the sanctuary home. -install further boundary fencing to keep the animals safe, create purpose-built paddocks for special-needs animals, install rainwater tanks to further drought proof the sanctuary and build a spacious new area for rescued battery hens. -inspire thousands towards a cruelty-free lifestyle through our educational sanctuary tours, social media platforms and our school curriculum programme. Thank you again for your […]
