Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary in Colorado, USA, was founded in 2017, by Andrea Davis. Formerly a goat-people and chicken-people farm, it is now a safe haven for almost 500 formerly exploited animal-people. “25 years I was a vegetarian and assumed that there was nothing wrong with eggs, and there was nothing wrong with milk. I regret, I regret not knowing. But also, this industry is set up to keep its consumers not knowing. Because I think the majority of people would never want to participate in cruelty, would never want to hurt an animal or another human, but they keep them not knowing.” After realizing the myth about so-called “humane farming,” Andrea quit her egg and cheese business. She deeply regretted the suffering she had caused to the animal-people and wanted to make amends. Caring for all the needs of hundreds of animal-people every day is an immense task. To provide the best care possible, Andrea and some of her helpers live at the sanctuary. “The stress of the money to be able to continue doing what we do, plus all this other stuff. And then, the big picture of knowing that we may save 500 animals, but 70 billion are killed every year in the food industry.” “The reward is in every face here every day, where every person who tells us that their life changed for the better for themselves or for animals by experiencing the work that we've done or listening to the stories that we tell for the animals. I think everyone wants to change lives for the better. And that keeps all of us going.” Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Thankfully present Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary with the Shining World Compassion Award, plus US$10,000 as a humble token of appreciation and support for your noble work saving precious lives, with high praises and best wishes, in Heaven’s blessings and mercy.”
