Texas Cattle Rancher Goes Vegan, Turns Ranch Into Sanctuary

Renee and Tommy Sonnen used to operate Sonnen Ranch in the
heart of Texas. For four generations, the Sonnen family sold cattle to be
slaughtered for meat. But they’ve had a change of heart.

Renee recently became vegan and with that she decided she
could no longer stand by and watch as their animals were shipped off in trucks
to the slaughterhouse. So she and her husband turned Sonnen Ranch into Rowdy
Girl Sanctuary, a place where rescued farmed animals can live out their lives in
peace.

With the help of some crowdfunding, the new haven is
thriving with 30 cattle, some rescue chickens, and even a resident pig.

Renee remarked of the overwhelming support: “Vegans are
coming out of the woodwork, in Houston, Galveston, and beyond.

ABC News recently interviewed the couple. Watch here:

The best step anybody can take to help stop animal suffering
is to follow Renee Sonnen’s example and go vegan. Learn more and find free
