Magnago, Italia
Kuvaus
Porcikomodi project is part of the Vitadacani initiative, an animal welfare organisation active in the protection and care of animals in Italy. This project is an animal welfare initiative based in Magnago, Italy, dedicated to giving a second chance to animals in need. The project has two parts: a sanctuary for rescued farm animals and a dog shelter for dogs that require medical assistance and live with chronic health issues. The sanctuary welcomes animals that are usually considered food and have been rescued, freed, or saved from situations of exploitation and suffering. The project does not ask about the animals’ origins and does not maintain any economic relationship with those who exploit or trade animals as commodities.
