Thank you for sponsoring the #MeatlessEveryDay cam Thank you for sponsoring the #MeatlessEveryDay campaign!⁠ ⁠ What? 😳 Your plant-based company’s logo ISN’T THERE? We’ve got a spot where it would look 👀 SO GOOD 👍🏻 — contact me, Renee, directly and we can discuss the perks of sponsoring the Meatless Every Day Campaign.⁠ ⁠ While the cross-promotion of plant-based products is great, the campaign is mainly about getting folks out of the rut where we dabble in lifestyle changes. The mantras “every little bit counts” and “we’ll get there with baby steps,” while true in general was a legitimate approach when Meatless Monday was launched by John Hopkins University in 2004. But, meatless on Mondays only isn’t gonna cut the mustard anymore! ⁠ ⁠ Meatless Every Day is a campaign designed to motivate folks to ditch animal products once and for all.⁠ ⁠ TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MEATLESS EVERY DAY CAMPAIGN FOLLOW THE LINK IN OUR BIO. CONTACT ME, RENEE KING-SONNEN TO BECOME A SPONSOR!⁠ ⁠ @hungryplanetfoods @NeoGenLife @Vdogfood @veganmentorlinda @yogaisvegan @healthybytewithjen @allyallsfoods

Recently there was a dustup on Facebook over an an Recently there was a dustup on Facebook over an animal rescue in South Carolina. The rescue is going to serve chicken and pork at their fundraiser 😬 Needless to say, they got a lot of pushback. I offered to speak with them. Several people offered to make vegan food or pay for it. But they were sticking to their guns (so to speak).⁠ ⁠ But it got me thinking 🤔 If an ANIMAL RESCUE isn't able to see the cognitive dissonance in saving and taking care of SOME farmed animals but eating others, what hope do most of us have to see the light? ⁠ ⁠ It speaks to how indoctrinated we are to eating animals. It starts at birth. How many of y'all were raised vegan? I'm sure not many. We're taught that some animals are food. And think of the ads we're bombarded with. Dozens promoting meat and dairy every day. And the horrors of animal farming and the environmental destruction it causes are kept hidden from us. Big Ag sees to that, with Ag-Gag Laws, slick advertising, and industry-led "research."⁠ ⁠ I'm so proud of y'all who decided meat and dairy are off the menu 👏🏾 I'm also proud of y'all who are eating less and less. And those who aren't on board yet, please do your research and you'll find the many reasons why meat and dairy can't be part of a sustainable future.⁠ ⁠ Please support Rowdy Girl Sanctuary in our animal care and outreach efforts by becoming a member for as little as $5/month! 🔗 LINK IN BIO⁠
Every time I tell the story about “floating dead Every time I tell the story about “floating dead, hacked up animal bodies in a bowl”, folks listen 🎧 intently to hear the rest of the story. And even though I’ve told this story over and over again, a new nuance always surfaces—I get more and more clarity about the extreme cognitive dissonance that plagues cattle ranchers, and other animal farmers! The story is vivid and told with great details. Join the ZOOM PARTY October 30th and celebrate my 7 YEAR VEGANNIVERSARY! Yep, I went vegan on Halloween 2014 🧙‍♀️ pumpkin 🎃 and I’m clear that the real haunted house needs no man made sights, costumes or screams - the real haunted house is a SLAUGHTER HOUSE which naturally delivers a blood bath of slit throats, terror, bloody butchers, and hanging corpses! MEMBERS come FREE to the ZOOM PARTY and EVERYONE is welcome! $20 donation to come party with us on October 30th - OR - BECOME A MEMBER for as little as $5.00 a month and be our guest!! We can’t wait to to see all of you there! Costumes encouraged- Let’s party……ZOOM! LINK IN BIO to register or become a member! - - - -
The compassion for animals arrived in my heart FOU The compassion for animals arrived in my heart FOUR YEARS before veganism struck me as a compatible lifestyle — that’s eight cycles of calves going to the sale barn. My identity was untethered and somehow, being married to a cattle rancher never settled me into the role of a “good” rancher’s wife. I identified with the mama cows, and now they are part of a sanctuary and never have to watch the red trailer leave with their babies ever again. “No more babies in that red trailer”!I have built around me a loving environment that has not only converted what was once a Texas cattle ranch into a vegan sanctuary, but that rancher husband of mine was transformed into a vegan partner in our unique non-profit! Don’t y’all tell me what’s impossible! And YOU can become part of the Rowdy magic. Follow the link in our Instagram bio to our website where you can become a member, sponsor your favorite animal, and stay in touch with our campaigns and events (my veganniversary Zoom party is next week — tickets available NOW!).

VIRTUAL ZOOM PARTY! You’re invited to my 7th Veg VIRTUAL ZOOM PARTY! You’re invited to my 7th Veganniversary Virtual Halloween Party on October 30th! Will you be there? ⁠ ⁠ I’ve always loved Halloween 🎃and it’s befitting that my vegan birthday happened on THE DAY OF THE DEAD ☠️ in 2014. And how appropriate that it was a [witch’s voice] bubbling cauldron of floating, dead, hacked up animal bodies that broke the spell of carnism!⁠ ⁠ Hear the whole story at the Halloween Veganniversary Zoom party — everyone is encouraged to wear a costume!🧛🏻‍♀️ There will also be door prizes donated by Marko Vegano Pottery, @winopicandles, @allyallsfoods, @rowdygirlsanctuary, and more. ⁠ ⁠ You need a ticket to join in the fun. MEMBERS ARE FREE but you still GOTTA REGISTER; ⁠ ⁠ $20 donation if you are not YET a member. New members and those increasing their donations get a FREE Rowdy Girl tote bag! ⁠ ⁠ The party starts on Zoom at 2PM Central and goes to 3:30. Get your tickets ASAP so we can plan, and share the invitation around!⁠ ⁠ FOLLOW THE 🔗 LINK IN OUR BIO TO JOIN THE VIRTUAL PARTY! ⁠ ⁠
Some of my favorite people are birds! Sealy, Red, Some of my favorite people are birds! Sealy, Red, Sunrise, Petunia, Betty and Michael Jackson are all SOMEONE- they all have a story- Sealy was surrendered when her “owner” feared for her life when their neighbor threatened to kill her. Red was surrendered along with a smaller flock when a family illness threatened their care. Sunrise,Petunia and Betty were all rescued from cockfighting rings, and Michael was surrendered by a vegan that was forced to move out of state. In the wrong hands, my friends would be reduced to chicken fingers and turkey breasts. I’m so grateful that they are able to show the world their sentience! They are ambassadors for all the others that weren’t so fortunate! Thank you for supporting our work! You make it possible! Thank you members and donors! Become a member today! LINK IN BIO
The easy part of going Meatless Every Day is enjoy The easy part of going Meatless Every Day is enjoying amazing food and tasting it twice — once on your tongue and secondly on your heart. Then you discover that food still satisfies AND you’re part of a trend that will spare animals 🐔from being bred to suffer a meaningless existence, you're getting healthier 💪🏼, and you're saving the planet! 🗺️ It's a NO BRAINER!⁠ ⁠ Here we are with an Internet full of animal-free options - you can literally google the internet for anything you want to eat and make it vegan! Today we are featuring Nora Taylor's VEGAN COMFORT FOOD for breakfast, lunch and dinner!⁠ ⁠ “Nora Cooks” is the online presence of Nora Taylor, a West-coast mom of three with a common story — before becoming vegan in 2010, she HATED cooking. After six years of discovery and family critique she launched her website and social media to share her knowledge of how to make vegan food that nourishes, tantalizes, and most of all, satisfies. I'M ALL IN!! ⁠ ⁠ You’ve seen a keyhole glimpse into her “Creamy Lemon Tofu,” “Vegan Mushroom Risotto,” and may have thought, “I don’t know if I can pull those off and serve them to my picky crew,” until you see the “Vegan Tater Tot Casserole,” “Vegan Biscuits & Gravy,” and “Buffalo Jackfruit Quesadillas and think, “I think we’ll do just fine!” Why not cook and serve with confidence, with some “German Chocolate Cake” to follow, and “Pumpkin French Toast” next morning for breakfast? 😋⁠ ⁠ The Meatless Every Day Campaign will conjure up a mountain of resources for those veg-curious willing to take the challenge with the professional assistance of vegan life coaches, doctors and nutritionists. We are in our soft launch and are looking for plant based companies and personalities that want to collaborate with us, and sponsor the #meatlesseveryday campaign! It will be great exposure and we can all do our part to make #meatlesseveryday the NEW NORMAL!⁠ ⁠ IF YOU HAVE A PLANT-BASED COMPANY WHOSE BRAND MATCHES THE MEATLESS EVERY DAY CAMPAIGN, OR YOU ARE A VEGAN CELEB THAT WANTS TO BE ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE CHALLENGE - FOLLOW THE 🔗LINK IN OUR BIO TO BECOME A SPONSOR!⁠
As y'all know, we rescue animals from slaughter an As y'all know, we rescue animals from slaughter and severe neglect. These are the lucky few of the animals that “made it,” and in order to keep them happy, healthy and radiant we MUST give them a level of medical support beyond the maintenance that is typical of the veterinary industry for farmed animals.⁠ ⁠ Sage the goat 🐐 (in the photo) was taken in with a severe mite infestation. Penny Lane 🐖 has a cracked hoof, Demarcus and Leo 🐑 are due for their shearing, Rowdy Girl 🐮 is still being monitored for a mysterious lactation event that created an infection, Nutmeg, Jan & Dusty 🐄, and Sealy the Turkey 🦃 all have to be dewormed, and on and on.⁠ ⁠ Your support lets us take the very best care of these farmed animals, who started out life with not much care at all.⁠ ⁠ Here's a big, rowdy hug to all who donate any amount to their care!⁠ 🔗 LINK IN BIO
Private tours are such a blessing—we all get to Private tours are such a blessing—we all get to experience the joy and the magic of Rowdy Girl! Our guests get to revel in the energy of animals saved from slaughter, and we get to experience the bliss of humans bonding with our rowdy family! Evelyn and her family have been members for almost 2 years! They have been looking so forward to this day and we are grateful that we got to meet them and experience this special occasion with them. If you’d like to schedule a private tour check out the link in our bio and come experience the world of a sanctuary— where animals that were destined for slaughter are saved and a place where cattle ranchers can and do have a vegan change of heart!

Rowdy Girl Sanctuary Vet Care Campaign. Health is Rowdy Girl Sanctuary Vet Care Campaign. Health is so much a part of “sanctuary” and we never want to leave guessing any ailment for lack of funding. Veterinary care is always more complicated than our own health care because we can’t properly ask an animal “Where does it hurt?” or “How long has this been swollen?” 

We don’t look forward to the vet visit, but it does create opportunity for the vets themselves to experience the Rowdy Magic...they’re used to poking and prodding a rancher’s product, and here the detached efficiency maintenance stops cold — THESE animals, even if they look, smell, and sound like the usual “FOOD ANIMAL” patient, are FAMILY.  When a vet comes to Rowdy Girl they are so surprised by the maternal care we give farm animals. They are shocked that our cows all have names--AND-- a medical file!! When we have to put one of our animals to rest (like our beloved Big Bird a few weeks ago), the vets are moved by the tears, commitment and heartfelt attention we give them right until the end. YOU HAVE 3 MORE DAYS to GIVE TOWARDS OUR MUCH NEEDED VET CARE CAMPAIGN. We only have about $1000 more to go to reach our overall $3000 goal! FOLLOW THE LINK IN OUR BIO TO DONATE TODAY - hugs to all of you and a BIG THANK YOU to those that have committed funds to our vet care drive. #vet #vets #veterinarian #cuteanimals #animalphotography #ahimsa #nonviolence #animals #animalsanctuary #chicken #chickens #beef #cows #bacon #pigs #lamb #sheep #goat #quotes #veganmeme #veganmemes #animalrights #animalrescue #peace #veganaf #recipes #recipeoftheday #chickenrecipes #friendsnotfood #rowdygirlsanctuary
