Gene Baur is someone who not only pleads for good treatment of farm animals; he’s doing something about it. He encourages us to engage in loving relationships beyond our cats and dogs to include farm animals as well. In doing so, he says that we can help ourselves and the planet. Imagine having a flock of turkeys following you as you wander the farm, or having a sheep paw the ground, insisting that you keep petting her. Baur is dedicated to exposing the abusive practices of the animal farming business and says that we all can be part of the healing by consciously choosing how we eat. Farm Sanctuary is a place where the animals are our friends, not our food. Baur reminds us, “There are studies showing that when you interact with animals in a positive way it is inspiring, it is enriching, it is healthy. It reduces stress and improves our wellbeing. It helps us live longer, better lives. Engaging in a mindful relationship with animals is good for the animals and it’s also very good for us.” (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
