Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary was the first farmed animal sanctuary established in all of South America in 2009 and is the only one existing in Colombia where we currently care for 96 rescued animals. In addition to our extensive animal rescue work, we place a high priority on vegan advocacy through direct contact, cooking classes, and a strong online and media presence. The reality in South America is no different from most countries — the abuse of all kinds of animals is enormous. However, in this part of the American continent, there are many social problems, so animal issues are not the government’s priority and what few animal protection laws exist are rarely enforced. In 2016, bullfighting was again legalized.
