Gene Baur has been hailed as “the conscience of the food movement” by
TIME magazine. For 25 years he has traveled extensively, campaigning
to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized factory farming
and our cheap food system.
A pioneer in the field of undercover investigations, Gene has visited
hundreds of farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses documenting the
deplorable conditions that exist. His pictures and videos exposing
factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally,
educating millions about the plight of modern farmed animals.
Gene began his activist career selling veggie hot dogs out of a VW van at Grateful Dead concerts to fund farm animal rescues. Today, he serves as President of Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization, with shelters in New York and California. Providing rescue, refuge and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year, Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene believes these animals stand as ambassadors for the billions on factory farms who have no voice, and he has dedicated his career to advocating on their behalf.
