Dedicated to cruelty free living through a vegan lifestyle.

Vegan Pastor Frank reflects on his friendship with the late Howard Lyman, famously known as the “Mad Cowboy,” and his remarkable transformation from a cattle rancher and feedlot operator into a passionate vegan and animal rights advocate. After facing a life-threatening health crisis, Howard experienced a profound change in perspective, eventually recognizing animals as fellow beings with their own personalities, feelings, and desire to live. He left the cattle industry behind and dedicated his life to speaking out against animal cruelty and encouraging others to embrace compassion. His journey reminds us that no matter where we come from or what choices we've made in the past, we always have the ability to change, reject exploitation, and make a meaningful difference for animals. Watch today’s video and learn how we are capable of doing greater things when we choose to live with compassion and work toward a world where all living beings are treated with kindness and respect.
