Thanks for an amazing trip homie! Man, you made me smile when we pulled up to the farm. I can’t wait to go on more adventures in 2020 with you and share the world with our community of supporters.

It's so nice to see people treating animals with such love and respect. Especially those who would normally end up in coolers in neat little packages with great disconnect. I think many would behave differently if they had the chance to actually get to know them. Each has an individual personality. Our society has raised us to see them as a commodity and not for the sentient beings they are.
That was one happy farm video! Those animals were so relaxed and not a care in the world. Thanks for showing !
I love this. Farm sanctuaries are the most beautiful places on Earth because they are run by people who truly care.. they care for and love animals who've been horribly abused. I was raised vegan and I've never felt the need or even desire or felt curious about animal flesh. Never. I am healthy, happy, and at peace. Thank you for taking me to this farm in Texas.
Massaging the pig was really cute.
I actually googled a vegan sanctuary because I need to see some happy farm animals

Mike, I've enjoyed watching a couple of your train videos so far. Since I am a vegan, I was pleased to see this video also. I wanted to let you know though, and I already left a comment for Will on his channel to let him know, that if one consumes eggs and dairy products, that is vegetarian, not vegan. It is some help though for the animals with whom we share this world, but it takes just a little more to be a vegan. I started as a vegetarian in I think 2007, not realizing the harm that is done to cows and chickens by the commercial companies that produce eggs and milk. In 2015, I talked with some vegans and they informed me of the harm. I figured I'd had enough eggs already in my life and gave them up, along with dairy products.

At least you understand that giving up something is better than giving up nothing! I'm a vegetarian and vegans tell me I'm no help, which makes me feel like crap.

@@toni929ann You are a help, thank you for cutting out most animal products. Unfortunately the dairy industry cannot be separated from the beef industry as bulls, cows and calfs all go to slaughter after they've been thoroughly milked for semen or cow milk. This is also true for the poor chickens who have been bread to produce 300 eggs a year (vs their regular 10-12) and then taken to brutal slaughter when they're all exhausted and can't anymore. It's commendable that you've recognized that animal meat is a horrendous industry, at the same no cruelty is better than some cruelty. I do hope your ultimate goal is veganism, but have compassion for yourself if you ever slip up. There's plenty of resources on youtube where you can learn about the dairy & egg industries :) Thank you for choosing to better yourself and the world with this path.

That was awesome!!! Watching Will smile made me smile and that’s hard to do!!
I had a pet pig when I was a teenager and she was blind. She was so sweet she ran free on the farm we never go out by the road. When I became an adult I owned a pot belly pig the lift inside and was litter trained. I would walk my potbelly pig down the street she had a Holter and a leash on. Thank you for sharing this story.
A truly feel-good video. Thanks for sharing.........
Thanks so much for this video. Been a veg for 40+ yrs. I hope you keep "thinking" and JOIN us brother. It's fine over here❣
I volunteer at Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary and I love it! If only all animals could have Sanctuary ❤
That was awesome! Thanks to you and Will.........great adventure.

I love Will!!!! I love his heart and his ability to see the happiness/sadness of animals and actually walk the walk of a vegan lifestyle. How many of us didn’t grow up into a meat consuming household where steaks and tall glasses of milk were the norm and they (parents) had us thinking we’d be frail if we didn’t. Who doesn’t love the taste of a burger or bbq? Anyway it is tough to quit but at the end of the day you’re not contributing to the pain, misery and torture of innocent beings. Totally worth it and this sanctuary was a blessing to see.
Was having a so so day today, watched this and I am feeling so good now. Thanks

Yes Brian! You deserve it! Enjoy!
Mike, I just almost finished watching Will's video and heard you talk about loving your burgers and sounding sad. I wanted to let you know there are veggie burgers that you might like. I found one in Kroger that is a Kroger brand, Simple Truth, in the frozen food area. Simple Truth meatless patties and it says vegan right on the package. In my opinion, it is very similar to a hamburger patty as far as taste and appearance. I like it very much and hope you have a Kroger affiliate in your area and can try it and hopefully, enjoy it also, instead of dead cow flesh (sorry! lol). Also, you may or may not have heard that some of the fast food places are starting to use a plant-based alternative instead of beef. There is something called Beyond Beef. I think Taco Bell and del Taco use it and maybe Burger King or McDonalds also.
This is AWESOME!! So inspiring! Thank you!!!
Mike, thanks for this vlog. I just found your channel last night (Amtrak adventures) and found your energy and enthusiasm great. Through this particular vlog I found Willie's channel. Two racially different guys, not afraid to share a loving friendship, and experiences. I've subscribed to both your channels. Thank you for the moments of wonderfulness. I hope to see more of both your individual and collaborative vlogs in 2020!

Look how sweet and loving these animals are, and yet they are treated worse than any criminal out there simply for existing. They deserve love and respect not torment and a cruel death. Being vegan is the easiest thing in the world once you see how hard it is to be an animal.
Love your channel, Your personality makes it great. Search for Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Mackinac Island, here on you tube, take a look at some of the videos and see the beauty, you might want come and see for yourself one day. Bring your friend Will if he can too, its truly a northern Great Lakes paradise.
