A Chance to Stop Rodeo Suffering
When she enters the arena, she circles the outskirts in an attempt to escape. The black Angus cow is already confused and exhausted. It’s a hot and dusty day. The crowd’s cheers are deafening to her sensitive ears. She’s never left the ranch she was born on, and she’s suddenly all alone in the wide […]
Veterinarian Shares her Thoughts on Cruel “Wild Cow Milking”
This week, we launched a campaign to combat rodeo cruelty in California. The Rowell Ranch Rodeo in Alameda County is infamous for an incredibly cruel event called “wild cow milking”. The practice involves chasing down an unhandled and terrified cow on horseback, roping her, forcing her into a headlock position, and milking her before a screaming […]
Plant-based and no Time to Waste

A cowboy on horseback gallops after a calf, bringing the animal to the ground with the throw of a lasso. He ties the calf, the crowd goes […]
Staying Fire Safe: Making a Plan for your Animal Companions
My phone rang at midnight. The Sheriff’s Department mandated I evacuate due to a nearby fire. Terrified, I fled to my parents with my daughter, dogs, cat, important documents, and some clothes. The fire moved in the opposite direction and leveled 13 homes. That was in October 2017. For years, the California fire season occurred […]
