First off thanks for all the work you have done. It takes a special person to be able to go through what you have. I'm a vegan and I don't think I could've put myself in your position without blatantly giving myself away. My question is why do you think there is so much animosity towards people who are exposing animal cruelty? Also do you think there will ever be more transparency in animal agriculture? What will it take to gain that transparency?

I'd like to say you can also donate to Mercy For Animals, Animal Legal Defense Fund, and animal sanctuaries like Farm Sanctuary, Gentle Barn, and Happily Ever After Sanctuary!

Free-range and grass-fed still end up in the slaughterhouse like every other animal. Hunting still inflicts pain and fear upon animals. Humans do not need meat to live healthy lives. We need to stop making excuses for people.

In my experience, food prep is actually easier as a vegan. You don't have to wait for meat to cook. The faux meat products take mere minutes to cook. Do you have a specific example of a time where it might be difficult for you?

Hi Susie! I love and respect your dedication to all animals and your ability to connect with each farm animal on a deep and individual level. You're one of my heroes and a great leader in the animal rights movement! More farm animal sanctuaries popping up in the U.S. and in other countries as well. What is your biggest piece of advice for these new sanctuaries who are trying to raise money and get their name out there? What are the biggest obstacles in founding a sanctuary, and how can people prepare for them?
