Compassionate Choices and Sustainable Food Systems with Gene Baur

Know It All with Peggy Bunker

About
There’s a reason why Big Ag doesn’t want you to see behind the scenes….the horrors of how beef, pork, dairy, and poultry are sourced has most consumers saying, “I don’t want to know.” Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, thinks it’s our responsibility to know, but without shame or judgement.
In this episode of Know it all, Peggy Bunker interviews Gene about being one of the first to go undercover into the dark world of slaughterhouses and factory farms, documenting the unimaginable realities of raising animals for their meat. After rescuing a “downed sheep” that was unable to stand, Farm Sanctuary was born, and is now a bi-coastal farm sanctuary with hundreds of animals. Gene has made it his mission to educate the public about what they’re eating, how we can end factory farming, and most importantly, how we must act to save our planet from its impact.
