“When programs like “The Martha Stewart Show” devote valuable air-time to the plight of farm animals and the benefits of veganism, a powerful message is planted in the public consciousness demonstrating that these issues are important and worthy of our consideration. 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.

More on Baur’s thoughts on his blog at Farm Sanctuary.
