Texas Cattle Ranchers Go Vegan, Turn Farm Into Animal Sanctuary

Tommy & Renee King-Sonnen are the owners of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary in Texas. The animal sanctuary was formerly known as the Sonnen Ranch before it became the Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, a sanctuary for cows. Once Tommy’s wife Renee decided to go vegan, Tommy started looking at statistics and watching documentary films like Forks Over Knives, a film and website that advocates for changing our diets from animal-based to plant-based, and Kip Andersen’s ‘Cowspiracy.’ Eventually, Tommy decided to become vegan as well.
