BE PART OF THE CHANGE
The power of compassion and collective action is limitless, and every day it has the ability to change someone's world.
OPEN YOUR HEART
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Our project was born from the fundamental understanding that a society that calls itself evolved must function as a whole, anchored in principles of solidarity, compassion, empathy, and mutual aid. We believe that the treatment of the most vulnerable is the true measure of our civilization.
Your help is essential for us to continue our daily work with animals, but also as messengers of inclusivity, intersectionality, and the defense of everyone's rights, working for a more just society that respects all forms of life. Your support allows us to amplify the voices of those who are silenced, reinforcing that the fight for a more compassionate world is a fight for the defense of everyone's rights.
FORGOTTEN LIVES - A REALITY
WE CANNOT IGNORE: LIKE THAT OF VICTOR
In Portugal and around the world, animals exploited for human consumption are the most abused, disrespected, and forgotten victims of our society.
Every day, inside animal factories (both legal and illegal) and slaughterhouses, millions of lives are cut short in desperate struggles for the right to exist.
Pigs, chickens, sheep, ducks, goats, turkeys, cattle, quails... are born by the millions every day in industrial and home-based factories, without ever knowing a future of peace or dignity. Without ever having a future.
Our mission is clear: to rescue some of these forgotten victims and give them the opportunity to prove that they are, in fact, individuals who feel, love life, and are fully conscious.
We don't just save them; we ensure that their dignity and freedom are restored forever by offering them a Sanctuary where they can live in peace.
WE KNOW WE CANNOT SAVE EVERYONE,
NOR CHANGE THE WORLD TOMORROW.
BUT WE CAN SAVE SOMEONE'S WORLD EVERY DAY.
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO PRACTISE THE ETHICS AND COMPASSION WE COLLECTIVELY DEFEND.

They are wonderful at the work they do! Your dedication and love for all animals is commendable. Unfortunately, humanity fails to understand that the best things in the world are animals, and I doubt they ever will.
All the best to you, tireless workers.

Thank you very much for your work, for your affection and care. With each passing day, I become sadder about the situations I see here and elsewhere. Human beings can be very cruel and lacking in compassion, but thankfully all is not lost, because there are people like you who do not give up. All the best to you all.
