At Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn, we don’t just rescue animals—we rewrite the narrative. Our mission isn’t just about saving lives; it’s about shifting public consciousness, recalibrating how society values the agency, intelligence, and emotional depth of farmed animals.
How do we do it? Through the most powerful tool ever devised—storytelling.
We don’t just tell stories—we engineer them. Every carefully crafted rescue arc, every underdog triumph, every absurd barnyard scandal is designed to entrap the heart, bypass the rational mind, and leave an irreversible emotional imprint. We wield narrative like a scalpel and social engineering like a sledgehammer—blatant manipulations, but always in service of the truth.
Because the truth is this: A pig is not just bacon. A chicken is not just an egg factory. A blind llama is not just an oddity to pity. They are individuals with preferences, grudges, jokes, friendships, and fears—and once you see them that way, you can’t unsee it.
This is where you come in.
Your donation doesn’t just feed animals—it fuels a radical shift in how people perceive them. Every dollar sustains our sanctuary and expands our reach, ensuring more people hear, see, and feel these stories. It keeps our rescue missions operational, our soap sales funding sustainable care, and our storytelling driving the kind of cultural shift that outlives any single campaign.
So, if you’re here to make an impact, welcome to the most insidious, beautifully orchestrated, emotionally devastating barnyard propaganda machine you’ll ever support.
Give. Share. Spread the stories. Let’s manipulate the world into caring—together.
As an Indigenous and women-led sanctuary, we bring a deeply rooted, multi-generational perspective to this work—one that honors reciprocity, resilience, and responsibility. Our approach threads mental health awareness, justice, and science-backed narrative strategies into every story we tell. It’s art and activism in equal measure—a deliberate dance of emotion and evidence designed to reshape how society values non-human lives. We’re not afraid to lean into the drama, the humor, the raw humanity of it all, because change doesn’t happen with dry facts alone. It happens when you feel it.
