Changing Hearts & Minds
Gene Baur, President & Co-Founder
The Farm Sanctuary
Our guest for this live event is Gene Baur, President and Co-Founder of the Farm Sanctuary. The Farm Sanctuary is now celebrating its 25th year of service to animals.
Gene Baur's commitment to animals is legendary and he knows what it takes to truly make a difference on their behalf. Learn from his experience and wisdom
in this special one hour Web event.
Gene will make a presentation and then be interviewed on a range of issues
and concerns affecting farm animals. His message will have relevance to
all who care about animals, of all types.
Farm Sanctuary works to protect farm animals from cruelty, inspire change in the way society views and treats farm animals, and promote compassionate vegan living.
Farm Sanctuary was founded in 1986 to combat the abuses of factory farming and to encourage a new awareness and understanding about farm animals. Today, Farm Sanctuary has grown to become the nation's leading farm animal protection organization, with hundreds of thousands of supporters.
We work in rescue, education, and advocacy, and operate two farm animal sanctuaries, one in California and one in upstate New York. In 2011 we are celebrating 25 years of service
and commitment to this cause.

Highlighting milestones over the past 25 years – including landmark legal advances, shifts in public awareness, changes in the marketplace, and growing coverage of farm animal issues by the mainstream media – Gene’s thoughtful and moving presentations set forth the great progress we have achieved by working together and address what each of us can do to help to create
a more compassionate society.
Gene grounds his message not on accusations or judgments but on facts and research, as is evident in his best-selling book "Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food" (Simon & Schuster 2008). He appeals to our better selves and explains how we can, and why we must, align our everyday actions with our own values.
Come be informed and inspired by this unique and compelling presentation.
Please Note: A registration fee is not required for this program ... but we do not have funding for these events ... and do depend on donations from supporters. ... Support is welcome and valued in any amount from those who are able.
Changing Times: New Era Plans & Strategies - As the saying goes, "change is the order of the day".

New approaches are needed to stay relevant, effective and sustainable. Hot topics for this dynamic session -- and ways animal support groups can benefit -- include Internet technologies, social networking and the social consciousness/environmental movement.
