Lots of chances to visit the Planted_Bloomington food truck this weekend for some tasty plant-based nosh!

Meet Patrick the Birthday Goat! He was a gift to the Sanctuary from this weekend's birthday party, and he will be chaperoning future birthday parties, along with our birthday staff.

Good news for elephants.
"The directive aligns with a growing global expectation that tourism should be responsible and humane. Facilities and venues around the world are increasingly promoting ethical wildlife encounters that focus on observation, education and conservation rather than direct contact and rides."

This is good for tourists as well, many of whom probably don't even know their participation is harming the animals. Here's hoping other countries will do the same.

Most of the Conspiracy goats are disbudded, as is the practice in the dairy industry, but a few still sport some pretty fabulous horns. Gnocchi, Fettucine, Peaches (and pal Dip), Gumbo and the Tower gang, and little Diana give you a chance to see what goat horns should look like.

Thanks Elizabeth for joining us for a tour today, and sending this wonderful pic. We love your shirt. 🥰

The 5K is on! Come out on Sunday, June 14th for the rescheduled fun run. The food truck will be here offering tasty plant-based fare, and we'll be raising critical funds for nutritious fare for the goats this summer!
