Renee King-Sonnen went from rancher's wife to vegan highly because of a special calf she calls Rowdy Girl. Renee's husband Tommy wanted her to care for the calf, hoping that she would become a better Rancher's Wife.

Renee quickly realized the cows were sentient beings as she watched the mothers and babies cry for each other when they were separated. She bought Rowdy Girl for $300, which gave her the official title as a "Rancher", having no idea that this was to be the beginning of her journey towards veganism.

Today, Renee and Tommy's ranch that was once called "Sonnen Ranch" is a sanctuary named after her calf, Rowdy Girl. Rowdy Girl Sanctuary is recognized as a 501C-3 (Non-Profit) and houses 107 animals, 62 of which are cows!

Episode 127 - Rowdy Girl Sanctuary

Hey teary-eyed pride, you know, I know
That a bird’s born with her song,
and I’ll tell you, so were you, my friend.
Yes, I know, you may never get credit 
for your contributions,
but try to know

That the march is through and through,
And the oblivious souls may not ever forgive us,
Side by side like corroborees’ shadows,
Drinking in peace with our breath so we shall know.
           
Hey last and lonely, you know, I know
That liberation is worth the fight,
and I’ll tell you, so are you my friend.
What knocks on our doors
Is the urge to relieve suffering and oppression,
So feel, all is right,

And the march is through and through,
And the oblivious souls may not ever forgive us,
Side by side like corroborees’ shadows,
Drinking in peace with our breath so we shall flow.

Don't wane 'til you're gone,
Just be strong last and lonely.

Teary-Eyed Pride

Episode 176 - America's Algae Gal

Jim Greenbaum has been interested in resolving injustices that exist in our society since he was a child in Louisiana. When he was a young adult, he had the idea of combating some of these issues legally, by attending law school. At the last minute, Jim decided to switch to a business major, with the idea that he could make a larger impact that way.

Thankfully, Jim was far from wrong. After a few "practice" attempts at business, Jim was able to reach a goal to help support organizations dealing with human rights, and later added a focus on animal rights.

Today, Jim has successfully supported numerous organizations, including Animal Equality, Earthling Ed, The Humane League, The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, as well as documentaries such as Game Changers, What the Health and Cowspiracy (to name a few)!
