Tracy Murphy and an Asha Sanctuary vehicle. |
As she learned more and taught others, she did a great deal of soul searching and eventually decided she could become vegetarian without feeling deprived. After her beloved dog, Asha, died, she investigated some of the brutal practices toward farm animals and made a decision to start the ASHA SANCTUARY.
In 2013, the vision became reality when Tracy purchased a 27-acre property, with about 20 acres of preserved forest, 5 acres of cleared land, a house, a garage, and an old chicken coop, which was dismantled and reconstructed into an up-to-date hen house. By July of this year, the first farm animals were welcomed onto the property. Funding usually comes through fundraising events and grants.
Foremost in the plans is to facilitate connections between farm animals given compassionate care with people who haven't usually had that experience. The public can adopt the farm animals through sponsorship that helps with their care and upkeep. Interested people can also volunteer to help out in various areas of need, including caring for the animals.
Another part of the mission of Asha Sanctuary is education - education about abusive practices of the farming industry, along with education about becoming vegetarian. It is part of Asha Sanctuary's philosophy that leading a vegan lifestyle is one way to make sure that farm animals experience a lifetime of compassionate caring.
