Episode 133 - Sanctuary is a promise with Anna Balser of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary

My guest, Anna Balser currently serves as the Programs Manager at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in the Hudson Valley, NY. She holds an MS in Anthrozoology from Canisius College, where she primarily focused her studies on sanctuary regulation, public policy, and animal ethics. She loves helping people question their assumptions about veganism and think more deeply about their relationships with other species. In her free time, she enjoys experimental vegan baking (and eating), road trips, and puzzles.

Today’s episode speaks to the power of sanctuary, why it matters, how you can be part of it, and ultimately, how sanctuary doesn’t just change the lives of the residents but ours too.
