Rowdy Girl Sanctuary resident "Cooper" allows Renee King-Sonnen to hold him Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016, in Angleton. The vegan farm sanctuary is run by King-Sonnen, who recently bought a herd of cattle from her husband in an effort to rescue the cows from slaughter. Now, the sanctuary is home to 48 cows, 7 chicken, a turkey, 4 horses and 4 pigs, who get to stay on the 96-acre lot in a sort of spa-retirement setting. While some of the cows were rescued locally, including the many from her husband's herd, there are new additions coming in from as far away as Florida, as King-Sonnen works to disrupt the traditional farming system that she feels is cruel to animals.
