Gene Baur–cofounder and president of The Farm Sanctuary

Gene Baur–the cofounder and president of The Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization–discusses his new book, “Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals And Food,” (an acclaimed crazy quilt of a book whose patches include a Baur bio, both a history and current account of The Farm Sanctuary, chapter-ending profiles of rescued animals living at their Watkins Glen, NY and Orland, CA sanctuaries, and an engaging, if sometimes unsettling, textbook on how factory farming actually works for beef, chicken, milk, pork, veal, etc.), his decades-long efforts trying to help pass relevant legislation, and much more.
