Knowledge is the greatest and most important superpower we can possess. Without it, we can’t form educated opinions or make informed choices. The thing that makes knowledge so powerful is that it’s a never-ending ability, evolving and growing as we continue to use it. And you don’t have to be bitten by a radioactive spider or fall into a vat of mystery goo to gain it as a superpower either. Every single person on the planet has the ability to exercise this particular power.
At Hullabaloo Farm Sanctuary, we want everyone to find the superhero within themselves and we’re here to help you do just that. Being a superhero is about saving lives and giving hope. By flexing your knowledge superpowers, you have the ability to save the lives of countless farm animals and give them the hope to live free from pain, cruelty, and exploitation. We understand that gaining a superpower and learning to use it isn’t always easy, especially when it’s new and unfamiliar. Like any new change, it can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. It’s a journey of small steps, patience, and support, which we are here to provide. The first step is to open your mind to knowledge you didn’t have before and be willing to learn.
