A fascinating and unprecedented ethnography of animal sanctuaries in the United States

In the past three decades, animal rights advocates have established everything from elephant sanctuaries in Africa to shelters that rehabilitate animals used in medical testing, to homes for farmed animals, abandoned pets, and entertainment animals that have outlived their usefulness. Saving Animals is the first major ethnography to focus on the ethical issues animating the establishment of such places, where animals who have been mistreated or destined for slaughter are allowed to live out their lives simply being animals.

Based on fieldwork at animal rescue facilities across the United States, Elan Abrell asks what saving, caring for, and sanctuary actually mean. He considers sanctuaries as laboratories where caregivers conceive and implement new models of caring for and relating to animals. He explores the ethical decision making around sanctuary efforts to unmake property-based humananimal relations by creating spaces in which humans interact with animals as autonomous subjects. Saving Animals illustrates how caregivers and animals respond by cocreating new humananimal ecologies adapted to the material and social conditions of the Anthropocene.

Bridging anthropology with animal studies and political philosophy, Saving Animals asks us to imagine less harmful modes of existence in a troubled world where both animals and humans seek sanctuary.

For Niko, Lauren, Lola, Shadow, Owl, and Panzainfinitimitum!

And for Adrienne, who fostered my love for animals; Samararose, who shared it; and Freal, who supported it

And, of course, for the animals

Im truly sorry Mans dominion

Has broken Natures social union,

An justifies that ill opinion,

Which makes thee startle,

At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,

An fellow-mortal!

Robert Burns, To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough, November, 1785

There is a terrible forest fire. All the animals are fleeing the conflagration except Hummingbird, who is flying back and forth, scooping up little slivers of water from a spring and dumping them on the flames. What do you think youre doing, stupid little bird? the other animals ask derisively, and Hummingbird says, Im doing what I can.

The Story of Bob and Eloise

Bob Before he could be sold at auction, a passing couple saw Bob tied to a tree and decided to rescue him from the miserably confined fate of a veal calf by buying him themselves. According to caregivers at the sanctuary, Bobs rescuers tried to care for him at home but found it too difficult, so they brought him to the sanctuary.

When he first arrived, he slept in a pen inside a barn where dozens of rescued pigs also slept. Because there were no lactating cows at the sanctuary, Bob had to suck milk replacer formula from a bottle, ironically similar to the way he would have been fed as a veal calf, since cows milk is preserved for sale to humans. As he got older, sanctuary caregivers eventually started supplementing his diet with small portions of grain to help him gain weight.
