Peaceful Protest for #SaveMinnie

Minnie has been part of education program for two years, she has been used for children's birthday parties on Benners Farm in East Setauket

Join us in a peaceful protest for Minnie the Cow outside of Benner's Farm at 56 Gnarled Hollow Road in East Setauket - APRIL 16 - 11AM - 1PM

This may the last time OUR children will be able to see Minnie before she is murdered for food - Touted on the Brenner Farm INSTAGRAM account in photos welcoming her as part of the family, she will be the FOOD at a BBQ they're planning - many patrons of the farm are horrified.


Minnie is a thinking, feeling animal, just like a dog or a cat. For the past two years, she has been used for children's birthday parties on Benners Farm in East Setauket and become beloved by the community, however, she is now slated to be slaughtered by the Benners, despite still being only 2 years old. (Cows have natural lifespans of 15 years.)

Please join us in standing up for Minnie and calling for her to be sent to a legitimate animal sanctuary where she could live out her life without ever knowing the horrors of a slaughterhouse. (And please don't offer the Benners a dime.)
