One of the best resources for how to treat animals at a sanctuary comes from an organisation called Open Sanctuary The guidance given is very different from welfare guidance in animal agriculture, where the focus is on keeping the animal healthy for food production. The Open Sanctuary gives the right guidance for a positive environment, with comprehensive care, enrichment, and individualised attention.
We have also been inspired by a number of documentaries which we can strongly recommend.
We made the jump into full veganism after seeing the film Gamechangers which entirely upended our understanding of food and strength in the human body. It showcases elite athletes and it gives a very different narrative from what we are used to in our daily food marketing exposure.
After Gamechangers, we watched three other documentaries (Cowspiracy, What the Health Film and Seaspiracy) back to back which forever changed our thinking.
All three films are entirely enthralling, we were captivated throughout, and it brought us all onto the same page as a family, and what we wanted to do.
We were so often guided towards Dominion, that we also watched this, though it makes for very difficult viewing, simply because it showcases the truth.
