Sanctuary—a not-for-profit
organization and farmed animal shelter located in
the Catskill Mountains of
New York. Jenny is one of the top vegan animal
rights
activists. She previously worked as a Television Producer until
2002
when she went undercover in Texas to film farmed animal abuse.
That
experience led her to dedicate her life to helping farm animals and
raising
awareness of their plight. Jenny’s story and the work of her
sanctuary has
been featured in the New York Times, Cosmopolitan Magazine, New
York
Magazine, New York Daily News, NPR’s Weekend America and more.
