From Rancher to Rescuer: Rowdy Girl Sanctuary's Renee King-Sonnen Tells Her Amazing Story!

Rowdy Girl Sanctuary founder Renee King-Sonnen talks about the rise of her Texas rescue into a force for social change! Hear her incredible story: It all started with Rowdy Girl, a little 2 month old baby calf that my husband wanted me to care for, hoping I would start wanting to be a 'good' rancher's wife. I bought her for $300 having no idea that she would take me down the rabbit hole where I would come out on the other side of compassion for all sentient beings – even the ones that used to end up on my plate. The rest they say is her-story. Becoming vegan for me has been a result of living on the Sonnen Ranch, now Rowdy Girl Sanctuary with my multi-generational cattle rancher husband – I couldn't take the red trailer leaving with the babies anymore – As a result I started watching documentaries and slaughterhouse videos and when I made the corner, I've never looked back. Forever Vegan!
