Gene Baur, President and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, explains in
this interview why it is so important to expose agri-business and what
the best strategies are to achieve it. Baur, vegan since 1985 is a
tireless champion for farmed animals, who have been exploited
relentlessly and unnecessarily. He clearly states that a plant-based
diet is the ethical, affordable and sustainable choice that can save the
planet. Please visit Factory Farming is Cruel: Gene Baur at the

Animal agriculture is one of the most cruel and devastating
industries that brings misery daily to God’s Creation. Christians, by
supporting it, become supporters of unimaginable cruelty to God’s
animals, sickness to humans and destruction of the environment. How can
we claim to be good stewards of God’s Creation if we take our choice of
diet as it if weren’t a serious spiritual matter? Steve Kaufman, CVA
chair, puts it well: “…I think that eating animals and animal products
is a sign that one is not saved. I don’t think that diet determines
salvation; instead, I think diet reflects one’s relationship with God.”
