Non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare and public education regarding love and compassion and protection of cows and helpless animals.

1. To rescue animals in harsh living environments and provide a safe haven for them.
2. To provide education on the relationship between health and diet. Many of our major health illnesses (diabetes, heart disease, hypertension,etc) can be reversed dramatically, if not completely, by dietary modifications.
3. To increase awareness of the environmental and global impacts of factory farming.
4. To promote love and compassion towards all beings and recognition that all beings are sentient.
