Saturday, August 7th
9AM - 11AM
Wagner Farm, Glenview

Please join us today for a rally to protect the welfare interests of all current and future animals associated with Wagner Farm. Remember, this is a peaceful protest so please keep posters positive and email us if you need ideas for poster content.
RSVP here to let us know if you are attending. Thanks!

Friends of animals - we know how much you advocate for their welfare and rights! Representatives of Wagner Farm and their 4H group are publicly claiming that we are small in numbers and that there aren't many people who are concerned about the welfare of animals associated with Wagner Farm. We know that there are many of you who would dispute this, and we need you to do so by making a presence at our rallies, which have been held every Saturday morning the past three weeks and are ongoing.

These animals count on ALL of us who care about their welfare to actually make our presence known and show those associated with Wagner Farm and their 4H group that we will speak up for their welfare and rights!

The pretty, country setting of Wagner Farm in the midst of suburbia in no way reflects the animal welfare issues and concerns that exist and are ongoing at this tax payer supported property. The 4H group there just sold their 27 lambs and pigs to slaughter auction despite Wagner Farm Rescue Fund offering higher payment and humane placement for them. Not enough of the public really knows what is going on at this tax payer supported property. None of the animals there are guaranteed any kind of humane placement, in addition to there being numerous issues in regard to their daily care as well.

Wagner Farm, which is well known nationwide, is also used as a model for other such "museum" farms across the country. Therefore, the animal policies established there also impact animal welfare across the country!

Please join us and support these animals! Please see www.eyeonwagnerfarm.com and Eye On Wagner Farm on Facebook for updates and ongoing information.

You can RSVP on our Facebook page Eye on Wagner Farm for this week's rally, Saturday, Aug. 14 from 9 AM - 11AM and for our future rallies - see our schedule posted. THE ANIMALS ASSOCIATED WITH WAGNER FARM REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Thank you on behalf of these domesticated farm animals who are loving and trusting and have no ability to protect their own interests!

The geese need our help TODAY!!!
The temperature will be 90 degrees today, and the two Wagner Farm geese still have no access ramp to get into their tub of water. The water itself is also dirty - green, stagnant, and full of feathers.
Yesterday, when we were in nearby Evanston, we saw that the Evanston Park District is providing a ramp in at least one of their lakeshore ponds for WILD geese to have easy access between land and water.
What is the reason for the Glenview Park District not to provide a ramp for our tax payer owned geese?? It would take the skills of a junior high wood shop class to make such a ramp. Geese are water birds and they can easily hyperventilate in this extreme heat. There are no valid excuses for Wagner Farm not to be humane and provide these geese with swimming access to their water tub!
In addition, the geese have no shade from the summer sun for most of the day! The adjacent tree does not provide shade for them in the hot sun when they most need it.

Please call TODAY to let these individuals know this is NOT acceptable. The animals cannot speak for themselves, so we MUST!
