Sharon Lee Hart. Sanctuary: Portraits of Rescued Farm Animals

Sharon Hart's poignant black and white portraits celebrate the lives of farm animals and make a passionate plea to animal lovers everywhere. The photographs depict dignity, emotion, humor, and the unique personalities of each animal. Essays and handwritten stories provide insight into the animals' daily lives, as well as their rescue and rehabilitation. This book reveals the unstoppable spirit of farm animals and pays tribute to their emotional, social, and intellectual lives

Look at Penelope, who was "worthless" to the butchers; Terrain, who kept a grieving vigil when his best friend died; Hannah and her infant son Herbie, who escaped with their lives thanks to a kind soul; Aintcho, who walked miles through a hurricane with his friend to find safety; and so many others. They are not "turkeys" and "cows" and "goats" and "ducks," but individuals whose eyes and minds hold stories enough for a thousand lives. What a beautiful tribute this book is to them all.
