Vegan lifestyle articles that discuss ways of living in peace with humans, animals, and the environment.
Ellie Laks is the Founder of The Gentle Barn Foundation, a national nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals and heals people with similar stories of abuse and neglect.
She is a celebrated animal welfare advocate, humane educator, and the author of My Gentle Barn: Creating a Sanctuary Where Animals Heal, and Children Learn to Hope.
Ellie founded The Gentle Barn in 1999. She invented her own “gentle healing method” that allows old, sick, injured and terrified animals to fully recover using a combination of Western medicine, holistic modalities, holding therapy and lots of love. Ellie is an expert in rehabilitating orphaned and sick animals, like puppies with Parvo and calves from veal crates.

In her work at The Gentle Barn, she has hosted hundreds of thousands of
visitors and developed programs for at-risk, underprivileged, and
intellectually or developmentally disabled children. The rescued animals at
The Gentle Barn also act as ambassadors of kindness and compassion for
groups of war veterans, senior citizens, domestic abuse survivors, and those
in recovery from addiction and gang affiliation....
