Joaquin Phoenix Reunited with Rescued Mother Cow & Calf for Earth Day

This Earth Day, Joaquin Phoenix reflects on the calf and her mother who he helped liberate from a Los Angeles slaughterhouse (www.farmsanctuary.org/news-st...) with the help of Los Angeles Animal Save almost a year ago and the environmental realities we're facing today. In a powerful new video directed by Earthlings Director Shaun Monson, Phoenix reunites with the pair at Farm Sanctuary, the country’s first farm animal sanctuary and advocacy organization.
At his 2020 Oscars acceptance, Phoenix spoke to the plight of mother cows and their babies. A day later, he helped liberate a calf and her mother from a Los Angeles slaughterhouse and brought them to Farm Sanctuary.
When Phoenix first met Liberty and Indigo (as they'd soon be named), he experienced them as beings in the grip of uncontrollable fear. Liberty had been trucked from a feedlot to the slaughterhouse where she gave birth. They were exhausted and dehydrated and frightened.
Almost a year later, though, Phoenix got the chance to meet them as individuals. As Liberty and Indigo: warm, intelligent beings with their own unique lives, as animals experiencing autonomy and with the freedom to exhibit their natural behavior.
Phoenix reflected on the rescue and the environmental realities we're facing today.
“We spend one day each year paying homage to our planet, Earth Day, but the other 364 days, we consume with impunity,” he said. “It's undeniable the detrimental impact that animal agriculture has on the environment. This simple act of rescuing Liberty and Indigo...in some ways, it's just as simple as sparing the lives of these creatures. But it's also an acknowledgment of not only the destruction they feel at our hands but the environment as a whole. By our actions, we either have the choice to continue to destroy other beings and the environment, or we begin the process of reversing the damage that we've done.”
With more than nine billion animals raised and slaughtered for human consumption each year in the U.S. alone, modern animal agriculture puts an incredible strain on natural resources such as land, water, and fossil fuel.
Climate change is imminent if we do not adopt a plant-based lifestyle. Every day is Earth Day.

    I appreciate and respect Mr Phoenix for what he did. Growing up on a farm, I hated when a hog was murdered at Thanksgiving and a steer was murdered at Christmas for meat to do us all year. I couldn't run far enough to escape the sounds. My family laughed at me because I wouldn't participate. One steer I raised on a nipple bucket named Ferdinand. He'd come running as soon as he seen me. I didn't realize he would be murdered in time. It literally broke my heart. Cows are smart, they have feelings and strong emotions. Never got over it. That was almost 50 years ago. Forgive me Ferdinand, I couldn't stop it. I miss you!

Ridiculing us or punishing us or forcing us to "eat it all" before leaving the table is just wrong. It isn't your fault that Ferdinand and Franni were killed. Your deep empathy and compassion have saved the lives of countless animals who would have been deliberately bred into existence and needlessly slaughtered. The heartless carnage stops with people like you :D Please, forgive yourselves

    Moos are very smart, loving, curious creatures with their own individual personalities. I befriended one on my work route. It started with me just stopping one day and petting him. Then I started bringing him fruits and veggies. Then I bought him a brush and would brush him. Sometimes I would even play guitar for him. He was so awesome. He was like a dinosaur sized dog. I loved him more than any pet I've ever had. And I've had a lot of pets. I even stopped eating beef because of him. He was sold and I don't know what happened to him. But he still fills my heart with love and happiness whenever I think of him.

    Lovely to know your mum is involved too. Our age group are usually slower to adjust our thinking to cruelty free, simply because our indoctrination and desensitisation has been over a long period. There is so much to be done and thank you for using your celebrity to raise awareness to the mindless slaughter .

    Farmsanctuary, Joaquin and everyone involved: Thank you so much for being the voice for animals. We live in a hard, cruel, abusive world in regards to how we think of and treat animals. Your work is so important for shifting the weight and the focus, to see these animals as sentient beings and treat them thereafter. Our history of how we have domesticated animals and our treatment of them, fills us with shame, regret and sorrow. There are great changes happening, thanks again for contributing to a more compassionate world.

    I had a very similar experience the first time I met a cow on a farm while I was involved in building and financing a recording studio on this farm . The penny dropped when I looked in her eyes and I felt deep remorse and impotence as I was not able to take her out of that situation . I said I was sorry to her and promised I would not hurt her kind again and do what I could for them . I felt her communicate pure love forgiveness and an almost motherly understanding towards me. She left an ever lasting impression . From that moment I stopped eating cows , that was the start of becoming Vegan

There is nothing more important than connecting the facts that how we treat animals is one and the same how we treat each other . Going vegan is the only way to save our planet and stay away from horrific cruelty and suffering .

    To the people commenting that they wish there were more people like Joaquin and the Farm Sanctuary people....don't wish for more people like this, BE people like this. Create your own sanctuary. There's tons of people trying to give away free animals on craigslist (livestock animals too) that need homes. Save them. Give money to saving them. Coordinate with people. Protest. Lobby. Call, write, petition....the problem is so massive and with so few people working on it. So every single one of us that cares about this needs to give out 110%! Get started tonight!

    My mom grew up in Northeast Iowa. There were small family farms where, yes, animals were slaughtered. It was not the best for the animals but it was a small family farm business. Then came the factory farms in the late '80s and '90s. They bought out the family farms. No one seemed to notice what was happening. Now we are upset about this. It is good that you are rescuing these precious animals but at the same time I can't help thinking, where were all the movie stars when the family farms were being sold off to factory farms?
