Tamerlaine Sanctuary and Preserve
Tamerlaine Sanctuary and Preserve (previously Tamerlaine Farm Animal Sanctuary) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit American farm animal sanctuary and nature preserve located in Montague, New Jersey. It was founded in 2014[1]. In 2021, Tamerlaine Sanctuary and Preserve received accreditation from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries[2], which requires a sanctuary meet strict, publicly available standards[3] of educational outreach and animal care as outlined by the Federation.
Tamerlaine houses over 250 farmed animals, including chickens,[4][5] turkeys, ducks, geese, cows, goats,[6] sheep, pigs, and rabbits. The Sanctuary is also the site of a native habitat preserve.
History[edit]
Tamerlaine was established in 2013 and founded in 2014 by Peter Nussbaum and Gabrielle Stubbert with the goal of promoting compassionate veganism and rescuing farmed animals as ambassadors for that cause.[7] The original sanctuary was 40 acres, situated near its current location, and began with the rescues of two roosters.[8]
Tamerlaine acquired Westfall Farms, a 336-acre farm, in 2017.[9] Relocation of the animals began in 2018, and ended in the summer of 2020, partially delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tamerlaine opened for private and educational tours,[10] which they continued virtually through 2020-2021. According to cofounder Peter Nussbaum, the "overriding goal" of these tours is to educate the public about the "situation faced by many animals living on farms."[11]
Programs[edit]
The Sanctuary has partnered with the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign to plan a 26-acre protected conservancy for pollinators,[12] such as migrating Monarch butterflies. In collaboration with the New Jersey Audubon Society and Natural Resources Conservation Services, the Sanctuary has developed initiatives to protect and create habitats for nesting wetlands and grassland birds, including the American Black Duck, a bird protected by the Migratory Bird Act, and whose population is in decline.[13]
