In 2013, on her way to the slaughterhouse, Edith, the wonder sheep, pulled a “Mission Impossible” and managed to escape from “the death truck”. Hooray! All the planets aligned & eventually she was happily rescued 💚🥳
Weeks later,she became the 1st inhabitant & moral founder of Leon Vegano Animal Sanctuary(Spain).For the last 8 years,LV has given a home,looked after&rehabilitated hundreds of lucky exceptions,like Edith,so called farm animals or invisible souls forgotten/condemned by the system
Unfortunately, many setbacks soon started to threaten the mission and the lives of its rescues.
In 2018 Leon Vegano had to put an end to all the rescue missions, visits and the possibility of having resident volunteers living at the Sanctuary.
In their own words: “we will have to close permanently if we can’t move out to a new farmland. We need 100,000€ to be able to buy the land that the animals need: this new ground will allow us to continue with our work of rescue and recovery of the less fortunate animals”.
Their current farmland and facilities… not an option anymore. The reasons (and I quote):
1-Harassment, intimidations and violence. Lives in danger.
2-Lack of space: the rescues are over
3-Run-down and almost useless facilities (all of them being over 75 years old).
So they started saving.The new home was getting closer!But the Sanctuary’s dream was smashed into reality once+:Covid-19 happened & the number of memberships,donations & teamers declined dangerously. LV was in+danger than ever.What to do?The last resort option:the new farmland 💰
And the hits just keep on coming!Right now they’re spending more than they’re receiving. So,not only the dream of a new farmland became an utopia,but also the future of the Sanctuary!If they don’t get donations/teamers/memberships now,LV will be forced to close in a few months 💔
We can’t let that happen! Can you imagine the future of Edith and her 150 brothers and sisters if that terrible thing happens? All that wonderful work inspired by love, justice and empathy… lost? The foundation of a unique and loving inter-species family destroyed?
Animal Sanctuaries are heaven on Earth. For animals and antispeciesists alike. Humanity at its best. Leon Vegano is a treasure, almost a miracle and they desperately need our help!

Durante 8 años,LV ha dado hogar y rehabilitado a cientos de afortunadas excepciones como Edith:Los "animales de granja" y/o invisibles condenados x el sistema.Desgraciadamente,también fueron apareciendo dificultades q amenazaban la misión del santuario y las vidas d sus habitants
En 2018 LV tuvo que poner fin a los rescates,visitas y a que potenciales voluntarixs vivieran en el santuario. Si no conseguían moverse a otro terreno, tendrían que cerrar permanentemente. Necesitaban 100,000€ para comprar nuevas tierras para lxs actuales y futurxs inquilinxs.
