Almas Veganas Santuario Animal is a non-profit organisation located in Guilleries, La Selva, Catalunya, founded at the end of 2016, with the aim of funding a home destined to rescue animals. The collective is formed by people from different backgrounds and ages whom, with their experience and diversity, add knowledge in order to develop the project. The group formed due to the lack of resources available to care for rescued non-human animals, as well as the wish to provide them with a safe environment where they can thrive out of danger. One of the fundamental aspects of Almas Veganas is to take in those animals that are, or could be, victims of violence, abuse, psychological mistreatment and, ultimately, those exposed to conditions of slavery.
Our main aim is to save lives — as many non-human animals as possible, particularly those considered ‘farm animals’. We will offer them a dignifying life, liberated from slavery. We also educate people in veganism (abolitionist and intersectional) to create a more respectful society with the planet and with animals of all species. We want to show that an alternative to speciesism, sexism, and other socially insane and violent behaviours is possible.
