Ep 11 - Rescuing Lives and Redefining Freedom for Farmed Animals with Brad King, Farm Animal Rescue

For this week’s guest interview on The Vegan Compass Podcast, we chat with Brad King, founder of Farm Animal Rescue (FAR). FAR is a 55-acre sanctuary in Queensland. Dedicated to providing a safe haven for animals rescued from the commercial food industry. Through the animal’s stories, FAR encourages a deeper understanding of the realities of animal agriculture. What sets FAR apart is its open-plan approach. Brad challenges the romanticised image of farms and instead seeks to restore animals to the environments nature intended for them. Today, Farm Animal Rescue stands as a testament to Brad’s unwavering commitment to advocacy, education, and creating a better future for farm animals. Through his work, Brad continues to challenge perceptions, inspire change, and bring to light the often-overlooked realities of the animal agriculture industry. Episode highlights: Originally from the UK, Brad’s vegan journey began in Florida, where inspiration struck to move to Australia and establish FAR. Brad dives into the sanctuary’s mission, explaining how the 110 rescued animals—each with their own story—serve as ambassadors for their species. Get an inside look at the day-to-day operations of the sanctuary, the unique challenges of running a 55-acre open-plan refuge, and the incredible transformations animals experience under FAR’s care. Brad also shares insights on FAR’s investigations, and the critical role of volunteers.
