I just learned today that Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary co-founder Chris Alley-Grubb survived a heart attack last month. Although they don’t know it, Peaceful Prairie has served as a model for us as we’ve been getting started. Their work is inspirational and a true voice for animals everywhere. So we hope that Chris will have a full and swift recovery. Be sure to head on over to their site to see how you can help while Chris takes a much deserved (and doctor-ordered) rest.

Chris has been Vegan for 18 years, and doesn’t fit any of the usual heart attack profiles or risk factors, other than hereditary heart problems and having to deal with extraordinary levels of stress.

Running a sanctuary dedicated to the lifelong care, protection, and advocacy of the most exploited and mass murdered animals on the planet - Farmed Animals - is extremely taxing on those of us who witness the horrors endured by the innocent victims of of egg, dairy and meat production . Our emotional, physical, and mental fortitude is tested everyday in ways that are impossible to describe.

Chris has put everything he has into building PPS. Thanks to his complete devotion to our mission, Peaceful Prairie is bigger, better, and more productive for billions of animals worldwide, than ever. We will continue to thrive with your support. The much needed break Chris is being forced to take, will cut into PPS’ resources now that Chris will not be able to keep giving so much of himself.

For Chris, and for the animals to whom he has devoted his Life, Please Go Vegan - and continue your support of Peaceful Prairie!

Thank You!
