Microsanctuary Resource Center
Animal sanctuaries often focus on caring for animals not typically seen as “companions,”
such as farm animals or labatory animals. The "microsanctuary" model is committed
to the idea such safe havens matter, even when they include only a single rescued
individual. The Microsanctuary Resource Center supports people who utilize their space and resources, no matter how limited, to
provide compassionate care.
The Center's stated core principles include ethical veganism and strict avoidance of the commodification of animal residents. This means human caretakers do not consume, trade, or sell eggs from hens, milk from cows, wool from sheep, and so forth. Reflecting this principled approach to sanctuary work, the interviewees help us open up fundamental questions about the meaning of "sanctuary" and the dynamics of interspecies ethics.
