Since founding Redwings Horse Sanctuary in 1984, Wendy Valentine's name has been synonymous
with care and
concern for horses.
In 1995, Wendy formed Hillside
Animal Sanctuary after witnessing the plight of the battery hen and
has
since helped and campaigned
for animals in need, particularly those who
are so routinely abused
in
the intensive
factory farming industry.
Hillside is now home to over 4000 animals and is one
of the UK's most successful
campaigning organisations for the animals' cause. We have always
known that one of the main reasons animals are left to suffer in factory
farms is because people have little or no idea about the immense cruelty
involved in their food production. Although most of our rescued animals have been saved from the farming industry, Hillside is home to over 2500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.
