ONLINE PANEL: From Animal Farmers to Animal Advocates

People who make their living from animal agriculture are often the staunchest defenders of the industry—which is why it matters when a few of them change sides and start fighting for animals instead. This Animal Justice panel brings together former animal farmers, a slaughterhouse inspector, and a ranch worker whose conscience and compassion led them from producing and killing animals to advocating for them. Our panelists: • Renée King-Sonnen: Former cattle rancher & Executive Director of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary • Mike Lanigan: Former cattle rancher & co-founder of Farmhouse Garden Animal Home • Jennifer Barrett: Former chicken farmer • David Magna: Former slaughterhouse inspector turned animal rights advocate • Edith Barabash: Former cattle ranch worker & Executive Director of Farmhouse Garden Animal Home Hosted by: Animal Justice’s Kimberly Carroll
