Marin Humane Society Centennial Speaker Series
MAD COWBOY: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat
(NOVATO, CALIF., October 12, 2007) — An engaging speaker whose life has become a book and a movie, “Mad Cowboy” Howard Lyman is the fourth-generation family farmer from Montana who changed his life in a big way after a medical crisis, a journey that led him into the world of organic agriculture, veganism, politics — and the Oprah Winfrey show! As part of the MHS Centennial Speaker Series, Lyman will present “’Mad Cowboy’: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won’t Eat Meat” at the Marin Humane Society (171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato) on Thursday, October 25 at 7 p.m. This event is open to the public and free of charge.
It was Lyman’s appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show that led to the bizarre lawsuit against him and Oprah for allegedly disparaging the beef industry, a claim that was ultimately dismissed. Now living in Alexandria, Virginia, this former director of the “Beyond Beef Campaign” and the Humane Society of the United States “Eating with a Conscience” Campaign, travels more than 100,000 miles a year as a speaker and lecturer. His motto: “When you can’t take it with you, all that really matters is what you leave behind.” For more information about Lyman, visit www.madcowboy.com.
This event is free to the public. Because space is limited, reservations are requested. For more information and to RSVP, please write loveanimals@marinhumanesociety.org or call (415) 506-6212.
