Texas Cattle Ranchers Go Vegan, Turn Farm Into Animal Sanctuary | NowThis

These cattle ranchers turned their farm into a sanctuary for cows.

Tommy & Renee King-Sonnen are the owners of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary in Texas. The animal sanctuary was formerly known as the Sonnen Ranch before it became the Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, a sanctuary for cows. Once Tommy's wife Renee decided to go vegan, Tommy started looking at statistics and watching documentary films like Forks Over Knives, a film and website that advocates for changing our diets from animal-based to plant-based, and Kip Andersen's 'Cowspiracy.' Eventually, Tommy decided to become vegan as well.

Wow. This proves how open minded we can be at any age or at any stage in our life. Thank you for not being like the majority

Besides the sanctuary, thanks also for challenging Texas stereotypes and showing diversity in perspectives!

That is a man who truly love his wife right there. Good for them!

"Hugging the very animals that they eat changes them" That is humanity right there.

This woman is proof that sometimes it’s okay to be a “crazy” or “militant” vegan. If she didn’t go to such “extreme” lengths like raising money to buy the cows or lecturing her husband, all these precious individuals wouldn’t be alive today. She saved and continues to save so many souls by not respecting other’s personal choices. Because of her being a “militant vegan, ” all these precious beings get to raise their babies and live their lives free from harm. I don’t think that’s something to be condemned.

Love these people. Protect the cow... love the cow. That's beautiful and the human thing to do.

[cpopsout]

[jcspider]

[emilybazer]

What a great couple. Living for the community and the whole instead of just living for themselves.

[professor-wright]

I'm proud to be American. I'm trying to go vegan again.

This is so beautiful. True proof that anyone can change.

[JosephAllen]

Eating plants save lives, not joking!

A single principled person can change the world! This woman changed her own mind, then persevered & changed her husband's mind, & then the two of them together transformed their whole farm operation & the lives of all those beautiful cattle. Who knows how many lives they're continuing to touch--including mine!--with their message of kindness & hope for the future.

We can change! We can restore this beautiful planet & restore our relationship with the living world around us.

Beautiful amazing good job you are absolutely correct those cows are just like human beings they’re kind friendly and love to socialize

The cows can teach the people on how to behave around other

people you need to take the knives out of all the babies hands

[rglucia]

Watching these people come around makes me still have some faith in humanity.

[noellewest]

That's a good man. He's added years to his life by looking after these animals and the planet. Bless this couple!
