Curly is doin’ fine and dandy after the procedur Curly is doin’ fine and dandy after the procedure to shorten the horns that were pressing into his eyes. He’s happy to be roaming with the herd. Tommy shaved off approximately ¾” of both horns—just enough to avoid the corneal nerve which is a branch of the maxillary nerve. We are really hoping that his horns stop growing so that they will not need to be removed. Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes. They make my heart happy. Sending it right back to y’all. Your support keeps the rowdy dream alive and helps tremendously to keep our animals optimally cared for. The more members we have the easier it is on all of us! Our goal is to have 800 members donating an average of $30 per month which will be right at what we need to sustain our current monthly budget. Become a member today—it all adds up when you join the rowdy herd!! Currently we are at 503 members donating an average of $23.00 per month. Love, Reneé
🍁🍂🐮Stomping our hooves together, we want 🍁🍂🐮Stomping our hooves together, we want to give a big rowdy thanks to everyone🧡 This year we have seen so much love and support: raising money for Brownie, donating for our veterinary care campaign, our drought fundraiser, and attending our annual RAP Summit…your support has been constant, relentless. This herd is full of incredible people, in addition to all its incredible animals. Without further ado, let's gather ‘round for some Autumn updates, as the cooler months are sweeping through the states. This year we have welcomed our beloved, humorously dog-like Brownie to the sanctuary, as well as some other amazing animals, including Gilbert the sheep, Lotus the potbelly pig, and 37-year-old Sofie girl. Some animals are a package deal, as was the case for the inseparable pairs of Danny & Doogie, Little Bit & Savannah, Laverne & Shirley. Thankfully, we are able to care for them all with the support from our Rowdy Members. And we are well on track to hitting this year’s membership goal! In addition to our new residents, there was a lot of activity on the ranch in preparation for our Online RAP Summit cohosted by Jane Velez Mitchell. We featured former chicken farmers and cattle ranchers Jennifer and Rodney Barrett transitioning their poultry barns to a state of the art exotic mushroom business with the help of our RAP multi-disciplinary team. Our guest panelists were Pat Brown from Impossible Foods, Carl Jorgensen from Plant Based Food Institute, Connie Spence from the Agriculture Fairness Alliance, Eloisa Trinidad from Chilis On Wheels, Jacque Salomon from Seeds to Inspire, David Ebert from Animal Defense Partnership, and Denis Vidmar from The Mushroom Hub. Psst, the recording is still available on the website. Go give it a watch! 🍿But before you go grab yourself some popcorn to watch the RAP Summit, check out our October Newsletter to see what all the Rowdy Herd has been up to lately. Link in Bio!
Listen here, everyone. This is my wisdom to pass a Listen here, everyone. This is my wisdom to pass along to anybody still eating meat and thinking about changing. Eating animals and eating the chopped-up bodies of beings is normalized. It's normalized violence. The wisdom I could impart now, if any, is to READ the WORLD PEACE DIET. Indoctrinate yourself with other information that is against animal agriculture. Learn, and watch slaughterhouse videos every single day. If you want to change, pay attention to what's happening to animals. Check out the stories of other ranchers and farmers transitioning. I was reading something yesterday about a slaughterhouse worker that said, you know, the cows cry. They're terrified. They're in a situation where they see 200 cows every day being slaughtered. The terror, wreckage, and horror that humanity has inflicted on animals are unbelievable. Get educated, educate yourself, and quit buying into the lies. It's a lie that we need to eat animals. It's not true. It's been forced literally down our throats since we were babies. IT'S just false! So please be the change and support our cause. Now is the time! The change happens with you. Link in our bio to learn more about how you can become a member today- Your membership helps us help animals and inspire Veganism around the globe because our outreach is now global!
Do any of y’all know what it’s like to be diff Do any of y’all know what it’s like to be different? I happen to think our differences are something special. And we have one special bovine here by the name of Curly. His name is Curly because his horns don’t grow in the usual direction, up and out. They grow down and in! We here at Rowdy Girl think this makes him extra adorable. But when there’s something that makes you special, it sometimes brings special challenges. In Curly’s case, his horns grow right into his big, beautiful eyes! So what we have to do is shorten them regularly to keep his eyes clear. Like most of us, Curly doesn’t appreciate the treatment but he sure appreciates having his vision clear afterwards. We do whatever it takes to keep our babies here at the sanctuary healthy, thriving and living life to the fullest! We hope that you will join us in caring for our animal family by becoming a member today! Link in bio to join!

Meet my friend and member Erica Nielsen! Proud Mem Meet my friend and member Erica Nielsen! Proud Members of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary come to us in a variety of ways! I’m so honored and blessed to have folks from all over the world that believe in our mission and we hope that you too will make the decision to become a member today! Erica’s Why: I love knowing that the beautiful animals who have found a home at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary are safe and protected, but I am also a member because I am moved by the important work the organization is doing to teach farmers how to move from animal to plant farming. Renee and Tommy have made a transition that many farmers may think impossible. I want to help them educate the world about how to survive and thrive without harming animals or the planet. If you want to be on the front line of the fight to end the devastating impact of animal agriculture on our planet, please support this wonderful organization and get involved! -Erica Nielsen, Animal Rights Activist, Los Angeles @ericahnielsen LINK IN BIO to join
Did y'all see the Facebook post from September 18t Did y'all see the Facebook post from September 18th?! 💣️ I don't know that we've ever had that much response. We got tons of support, but also tons of pushback from folks who are not ready to give up meat.⁠ ⁠ First off, I've been around long enough to know that folks don't like being told what to do. That's why I don't do it. I'll suggest...I'll teach...I've even been known to exhort 😃. ⁠ ⁠ Most of the pushback we got was that people like the taste of meat 🥩 and don't want to give it up. I get it. I was a rancher. I grew up in Texas. 👢 I didn't go vegan until later in life. ⁠ ⁠ Having been in the cattle industry, and having worked with countless chicken and pig farmers through our Rancher Advocacy Program, I know one thing for certain. Farmed animals suffer tremendously for that meal. We artificially impregnate them. We take their babies soon after birth. We mutilate their bodies without anesthesia. We confine them and force them to live in completely unnatural ways. We take the products of their reproductive systems. Then we kill them as babies. 🐔😢🐮😢🐷⁠ ⁠ The good news is, if we don't want to be the cause of animal suffering, we don't have to be. There are healthy, delicious alternatives to all our favorite foods, with more coming out every day. ⁠ ⁠ The choice is ours - a small shift in our habits, or this sweet chick's suffering.⁠ ⁠ Your support of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary not only takes care of the sanctuary animal ambassadors, but benefits our advocacy work to create a kinder world for all beings. 🙏⁠ ⁠ JOIN US AT THE ROWDY GIRL MEMBERSHIP🔗LINK IN OUR BIO
Humanity is not a humane species is . We need to c Humanity is not a humane species is . We need to check ourselves and stop making one excuse after another just so we can indulge in the bloody carnage of chopped up bodies and female excretions that we insist on calling food. It’s not food, it’s violence and it’s violence that is totally unnecessary. Why have we industrialized the egg and chicken industry to the point to where baby male chicks are born and die on the same day except that humans are playing God and have decided that baby male chicks are useless because they will never lay eggs and therefore are nonproductive. If you are born a male, you are condemned to die a death that culminates with you and thousands of others falling into a macerator that churns your baby body into deviled flesh. And god forbid you’re a female and get chosen to be used in the egg industry for your excretions. We are a species that commodifies animals for profit, period. We are a species that exploits the feminine. We are a species that could care less about the well-being of animals or each other. As long as carnist humans are in control of the food system there will be unnecessary and extreme violence. There will be narratives and agendas forced onto consumers that prop up animal agriculture. As long as we allow carnist profiteers to lead our food industry we are all consenting to be farmed as well. That’s right, if you’re mindlessly eating what comes out of a chickens butt and devour babies with a smile on your face saying mmmmm bacon etc, then you too are being farmed and are being used by animal agriculture to play your part in their sadistic scheme to feed the world using exploitation, violence and mind control as their methods. Welcome to their club. If you want out of that industrialized food system, message me. I will help you. You are not alone. Don’t let your compassion, empathy and mind be macerated by animal agriculture. Step off the conveyor belt. Love, Reneé If you support our work please become a member. We need you! 🔗 In Bio to Join

Your membership literally saves the lives of anima Your membership literally saves the lives of animals. Animals like Brownie who would have been destined for the veal factory as a male calf at a dairy without the support of our members. The lesson here is a simple math equation: your $30 membership equals a quality life at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary for animals like Brownie the young Jersey steer. Our School Days campaign is coming to a close. We have welcomed 13 new monthly members to our “herd.” If Rowdy Girl Sanctuary has just 20 more Caregiver Level Members ($30 monthly), we can count on enough revenue each month to provide critical vet care for our herd. Can you help us reach our goal today? Caregiver benefits include: • Free admission to events • Autographed color photo of the founders with the herd • Rowdy Girl cap at your one year anniversary We have a membership level for everyone whether your budget is big or small as Brownie wants y’all to be part of the herd. Caring for farm animals and keeping their environment safe while welcoming new animals who’ve been spared slaughter or the auction house, is costly. Our members give us the monthly support we must have to keep it all going. I am hoping you will be one of them! Thank you if you’ve already joined. I am so grateful. LINK IN BIO
A picture says a 1000 words. Humanity has become d A picture says a 1000 words. Humanity has become devoid of empathy when it comes to animals killed for food. Here’s an image of a human baby probably 4-6 months old that was raised on an organic human meat farm and killed “humanely”. Why does this image cause us to gasp in horror at the probability of a 6 month old human baby being harvested for slaughter? Furthermore we shut down when we perceive the shoe on the other foot? Here’s a family of pigs about to devour the flesh of a baby human—for all intents and purposes this family could be celebrating Thanksgiving, Easter or Christmas. They could be asking God to bless this food to the nourishment of their bodies just like a family of humans does when they pray over the dead bodies of baby piglets, calves, or lambs. What’s the difference? Every individual regardless of species wants to live, has a family and deserves to express their right to life without interference by a mechanized, sanctimonious food system that is violent, unjust and created by man, not God! The right to sacred life is inherent in us all. Humanity’s obscene obsession with their own self righteous privilege as the dominant breed of personhood on this planet is misplaced. We are blind as a species to our own malignant narcissism until we express our true nature through ethical Veganism. We’ve lost our way from the original intent of creation. If we are to find our way we must put ourselves in the hooves, wings, feet and fins of Gods creatures—our relatives. When I look into the eyes of other beings I see myself looking back. I see you—I see a soul! We are all Gods kids, and we are all worthy to live our lives without being subjugated by perceived superiority snd uniqueness. Matthew 13:16 and 17 says this: - But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. I love you, Reneé If you resonate to our work in Texas and if you appreciate our activism, become a member today! It is the best way that you can show your love and support! 🔗 In Bio
