“THE DANGERS OF FACTORY FARMS”


In his eighteen years with Farm Sanctuary, Gene Bauston has established America's first and premier farm animal shelters. He’s waged campaigns to stop farm animal cruelty, including his No Downers, No Veal, and Farm Animal Defense campaigns and his efforts have resulted in precedent-setting cruelty convictions of stockyards, factory farms, and slaughterhouses.

Farm Sanctuary’s ground-breaking investigative campaigns have been featured on CNN Larry King Live, National Public Radio, and CBS This Morning and in the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, and news stories around the country.

Farm Sanctuary launched the first-ever Public Service Announcement Campaign for farm animals, and its television PSAs, starring actresses Kim Basinger, Charlotte Ross, and Lindsay Wagner, have aired on over 100 television stations across the U.S., educating millions of people about the plight of farm animals. In addition, Farm Sanctuary promotes a vegan lifestyle.

Mr. Bauston holds a Masters degree in Agricultural Economics from Cornell University.
