Stand with Joaquin Phoenix. We have the Right to Rescue animals in need. 

“To so harshly punish a woman who was simply showing kindness to two individuals who had wandered onto her property is astounding.”
—Joaquin Phoenix

If the animals that needed rescue were dogs, the whole town would likely rally behind her. But this situation involves two cows. Tracy Murphy is the founder of Asha's Farm Sanctuary, a refuge for abused cows, pigs and chickens and is facing an unjust and biased trial. Last summer, two cows wandered onto the sanctuary. Tracy immediately provided care for the cows and reported them to the SPCA. 

A week later, a farmer (who also happens to be a New York State Trooper), stepped forward to claim the cows. With no proof of ownership, Tracy refused to hand over the cows she named Ismael and Little Willow. Another week passed and, under a controversial search warrant, Tracy was arrested. Ismael and Little Willow were seized, likely for slaughter.

“There was an opportunity here to show compassion and mercy. To allow these peaceful creatures to remain without fear or anticipation of harm for the rest of their lives.”—Joaquin Phoenix

Tracy is going to trial to defend her right to rescue. The sanctuary is under attack, and Tracy has a gag order placed on her. We need your help to make the voices of Ismael, Little Willow, and Tracy heard. 

NIAGARA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRIAN SEAMAN HAS THE POWER TO END THIS.
