Farmer Brown Speaks At Marin Humane Society About Factory Farming
"Beef" farmer turned animal activist promotes cruelty-free agriculture
(NOVATO, CALIF., October 10, 2005) — Harold Brown, former cattle farmer turned farm animal advocate, will speak about the effects of factory farming on the environment and humane alternatives Tuesday, October 18, 7–9pm, at the Marin Humane Society (171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato). Brown, featured in the new, award-winning documentary Peaceable Kingdom, will also present the benefits of moving away from animal agriculture to a plant-based agricultural production system. This event is open to the public and free of charge.
Farmer Brown was raised on a cattle farm in Michigan and spent half of his life in animal agriculture. Now, having metamorphosed from a "beef" farmer to a vegan farm animal advocate, he works to encourage farmers to adopt cruelty-free farming practices and "Put the Family Back in Farming."
