Woodstock Farm Sanctuary (WFS) was established in 2004 by an extraordinary couple, Jenny Brown and Doug Abel, outside of Woodstock, New York, USA. These two lovely people noticed that there was an abundance of help for dogs and cats in need but very little aid available for animals abused by the animal livestock industry. Thus, they decided to build a sanctuary to take care of animals rescued from this cruel industry while advocating for animal rights and promoting veganism. At the very beginning, the sanctuary was an empty and unfenced field. Now the sanctuary is home to over 370 victims of the food production industry. Animal residents are given lifelong care and treated with respect as individuals. Currently, Rachel McCrystal is the Executive Director of WFS. Since 2017, she has taken over from the co-founders to continue the charity’s mission: “We rescue farmed animals and give them care and sanctuary, connect animals with people to advance veganism, and advocate for animal rights in alliance with other social justice movements.” Rescuing animals exploited for food and ensuring their welfare is the sanctuary’s daily routine. In January 2021, the sanctuary staff partnered with the North Greenbush Police and Mohawk Hudson Humane Society to save animals living on a farm in Wynantskill, New York. The caregiving team raced against the clock to beat a coming snowstorm to rescue a total of 55 animals, including two baby cows, seven turkeys, six ducks, and 40 chickens from the farm. All of them needed urgent medical attention. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Gratefully present the Shining World Compassion Award to the Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, with a contribution of US$15,000, to humbly support its benevolent work of protecting animals and promoting compassion and veganism, with love, praises, and best wishes. May God always bless you and all involved abundantly.” 伍德斯托克農場庇護所（ＷＦＳ）於二○○四年由一對非凡的夫婦，珍妮布朗與道格阿貝爾建立在美國紐約州伍德斯托克的郊外。這兩位高尚人士注意到處於困境的貓狗能得到充裕幫助，但是畜牧業的受虐動物能得到的援助卻微乎其微。因此，他們決定要建立庇護所來照顧自畜牧業的殘酷產業中營救出來的動物們，同時倡導動物權利和推廣純素主義。 剛開始的時候，庇護所只是一處沒有圍欄的空地。如今的庇護所是來自食品業逾三百七十隻受虐動物的家園，動物居民獲得終生照顧且受到個別的尊重。 目前，ＷＦＳ執行董事由瑞秋·麥克里斯托擔任。她自二○一七年起，接手聯合創始人的工作，繼續這項慈善使命：「我們拯救農場動物，為他們提供照護及庇護，建立動物與 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjk7skkdjOE
