Edgar's Mission all started with a rescued pig named Edgar Alan Pig. He was loved so much by founder of Edgar's Mission Pan Ahern who found herself so in love with him that she quit her job and started Edgar's Mission on a 60-acre nonprofit farm sanctuary in Victoria, Australia. It provides more than 300 rescued animals a place to be and to flourish.
Ahern said in an interview that "Edgar’s Mission achieves many goals, such as making the world a kinder place and changing the way people view farm animals." When Pan is not saving animals and taking care of them she is spending her weekends travelling around Australia trying to spread farm animal rights awareness. This is such a great cause and this woman is doing a great job putting her free time to good use.
