VEGAN Journal of a RANCHERS WIFE

VEGAN Journal of a RANCHERS WIFE This page journals my experiences as I've made transition to a vegan lifestyle while being married t I am forever changed by my decision. Renee.

Ok, here I am - got me a page so that I can start journalling my experiences as I make my very edgy transition of immersion into veganism. It's been a long time coming, and being married to my husband that I love and respect dearly is what catapulted me over the edge of "no return"! I live on a 96 acre ranch with him. I was transplanted from suburbia to the ranch 6 years ago - I fell in love with

all the critters....kinda like Elly Mae Clampett - I named them all and loved them everyone - I'd go out and spend time with them, dance around them - sing to them and talk to them. Then they started being trailered up to go to the sale barn, and the experience of watching them leave, the mamas wailing for a week and the absense of their souls in the pasture haunted me. This past Halloween while at my mother in laws, I found myself saying no to anything with meat in it. I'd been vegetarian in the past and even tried a raw diet for several months, but never had the compassion connection until I LIVED IT! I love these animals - I see their souls, and they see mine - I can tell they are looking at me out of the corner of their eye. They can feel our motives. Any old way, welcome to my journal - I dont know where it's going or what I'm gonna be saying, but I do know that I need a platform to get my feelings, rants, joys, obstacles and love out!! Thanks to all my new Vegan friends that have welcomed me with open arms and shared their gentle hearts with me. Help me spread the word. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Please join UnchainedTV’s LA Fires Town Hall. We will honor the victims, both human and animal, get the latest from rescuers on the ground and talk about how the daily choices of the human race have contributed to this unprecedented catastrophe. This will be one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. The Los Angeles fires are nothing short of an apocalypse, leaving at least 2 dozen dead, more than 12-thousand structures destroyed and more than 90-thousand Angelinos hit with evacuation orders. It is not “too soon” to talk about climate change and what might be in store in the future as the climate crisis escalates. As one woman implored on CNN, “Let’s get our heads out of the sand.” The time to look at the impact of our choices, specifically our food choices, is NOW. So, watch, comment and let’s talk solutions.

Remembering Cecil.

I’ve always held my heart and the door open for animals, from the smallest critter to the very wild and free. At a very young age, I developed a fascination with how those in the wild exist. As a young girl, I remember watching Wild Kingdom for hours upon hours with my father. Watching the […]

There’s no right way to do the wrong thing! As a child we would never think this is normal- we teach kids to normalize violence in order to perpetuate animal ag as king.

Mothers should be honored regardless of species. Babies should be cherished regardless of species. is the reason we eat and torture mommas and babies—the only reason.

Speciesism-

Richard Ryder, who coined the term, defined it as "a prejudice or attitude of bias in favour of the interests of members of one's own species and against those of members of other species."[7] Speciesism results in the belief that humans have the right to use non-human animals, which scholars say is pervasive in the modern society.[8][9][10] Studies from 2015 and 2019 suggest that people who support animal exploitation also tend to endorse racist, sexist, and other prejudicial views, which furthers the beliefs in human supremacy and group dominance to justify systems of inequality and oppression.

Tommy is my idea of a good man. Loves his cats and loves his vegan cheese (check out his hat). I am so blessed to have found a husband who will love and support me through all manner of challenges - addiction, trauma and my life-altering vegan awakening. That last challenge could have been the end of us - almost was. But Tommy, in his calm, steadfast way, said yes to co-evolving with me. He could have dug in his heels and stuck with what was familiar but he chose to grow and I am so very thankful he did. I can’t imagine this journey without him.

There is this false cultural narrative that vegan men are less manly. I can’t stand this idea. Why do we think paying for a docile animal to be abused, tortured and killed is manly? The truly brave thing to do is stand up for what’s right even in the face of great counter-pressure. I love my vegan husband - loved him before he was vegan and love him after. Let’s stop this silly idea that eating a piece of a cow’s body makes you manly. It’s propaganda plain and simple.

Rowdy Girl Sanctuary is committed to truth telling! We are former cattle ranchers who discovered the lies of animal agriculture and converted to a vegan farm animal sanctuary. We are determined to keep spreading the message that the way forward is vegan. Doesn’t matter how you feel about the word “vegan” what matters is the principles behind it. Love, compassion, fairness, conservation and just good old fashioned sense!
