Stewart has built a media empire based on her uncanny ability to influence the tastes and opinions of consumers. When she speaks about the importance of showing compassion for farm animals, millions of people — many of whom may never have considered these issues before — listen.”

Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, and one of the guests on Martha Stewart‘s vegan episode which aired earlier this week. Martha recently adopted an animal on the sanctuary, a sheep named Persia.
