Three Reasons Why I Rescued a Dying Hen
Diane Gandee Sorbi
1) TO SAVE A LIFE
Ella was very weak and sick. She wouldn’t have survived long without veterinary care. I did what most of us would do when confronted with an animal in need. I helped her.

2) TO EXPOSE THE CONDITIONS THAT COMMODIFIED ANIMALS ARE FORCED TO ENDURE
Almost everyone is opposed to animal cruelty. People want to make kind choices. The industry deceives its consumers, convincing them that there is a right way to do the wrong thing. The truth is, animal agriculture always involves needless suffering.

3) TO HIGHLIGHT THE NECESSITY FOR OPEN RESCUE
Open rescue shows the public the faces of the industry’s victims. It helps them make a personal connection. Currently, laws work in favor of the animal abusers and against those who expose them. It is my hope that as the open rescue movement grows, those laws will be reversed and true justice will prevail.
