      Me too! I love that Ellen uses her show to promote veganism and respect for animals, and showing delicious vegan recipes. ♥ I only wish she'd mentioned a lot of these animals come from meat/egg/dairy farms.

    Ellie Laks and Jay Weiner are my heroes. I would give anything to be able to do what they do for a living. I love them so much. I'll be visiting the MO location next Sunday with my husband and two boys. Can't wait to see their new baby pig and to see how Einstein the sheep is doing since my last visit when he was only there for a few days. I love watching their videos online and following the healing stories of all of the wonderful animals. My heart is full when I visit. I highly recommend reading Ellie's book called My Gentle Barn. It's so inspiring.

I wish I could visit it someday, my kids would love it.

      @archristchurchnewzealand7324 6 лет назад

      It’s also taking something that doesn’t belong to us. Animals that are raised for their body parts (including wool) are commodities. We need to start respecting animals and looking at them in a different light. All sheep that are raised for meat are shorn for their wool, thus providing a bi product from meat, all sheep raised for their wool will eventually be killed for meat. This is the continuous cycle that must end.

    good for you :) it's good to start by replacing a few simple things like replacing dairy with soy-, almond- or oatmilk... whatever plant-based milk you like. and trying to replace eggs whenever you can... i think it'll make it easier for you :) if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
