2,300 animals rescued. Colombia’s first farm animal sanctuary. One woman who decided at just five years old that animals were not food—and never looked back.
In this episode of Better Life for Animals, Juliana Castañeda shares the powerful journey behind building a sanctuary that has saved more than 2,300 animals and continues to care for nearly 200 at any given time. But what stands out most is not just the rescue work—it’s her unwavering belief that rescue alone will never be enough.
Juliana explains why education is the only true path to ending animal suffering, and how her programs are reaching children and families across Colombia, creating real, lasting change. With over 20 years of activism, she brings a unique perspective shaped by experience, resilience, and two degrees in physical sciences—blending compassion with credibility.
We also explore the realities of running a sanctuary, from the constant financial pressure to the creative ways she sustains the work, including building a dog daycare to help fund operations. Juliana shares what it’s like raising her son at the sanctuary, where he naturally sees animals as equals—without ever being taught.
This conversation goes beyond inspiration. It offers insight into animal advocacy, vegan living, plant-based choices, and the deeper question of how we create a more compassionate world.
If you’ve ever wondered what real change looks like, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
