What a wonderful post (and pictures) about your trip to Animal Acres! I’ve been there twice now, and I was lucky enough to have attended the Gala last month, which I also volunteered for. We raised $150,000 that night! I wrote a blog post about my first trip there last year, and you can read it here if you like: http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/alisoncole/ar2007/1184557980/tpod.html

My roommate is the head of fundraising at Animal Acres and will be so excited about this post. The event that they held was extremely successful, and they raised a lot of necessary funds. Keep the love coming.

Nikki: How wonderful that you’ve adoted so many of these wonderful animals! I did not meet Agnes but I did hear her name so I know she was there. I did however meet Jimmy the Snout! Oh my gosh, what a cutie with his crazy crooked nose! For those who don’t know about him, he was born with rhinitis, a disease which deforms pig’s snouts. Typically, the deformed pigs are killed by the farmers… but luckily for this little guy he was saved by Animal Acres. You must be a very proud mama! I gave him a whole lot of belly rubs and I saw that everyone else was very eager to play with him as well, so you can rest assured he’s being well taken care of and getting lots of love!

I love Animal Acres! For the seemingly small real estate they’re using, they’re doing an immense amount of good.

I have two adopted animals at Animal Acres – did you by chance see the sheep? My sheep is Agnes. She is quite lovely. I also have a pig – his name is Jimmy the Snout. I have two others at Farm Sancturay too, a little lamb named Lexi and a big black pig named Harry. Someday I hope to meet all of them! It is very important to post things like this entry because it shows us the faces of why as ethical vegetarians we stopped eating meat in the first place.
