So what makes Russell Crowe any different from cattle ranchers here in the US? Your site often bashes cattle ranching and raising animals for food, but here you praise Crowe for being a rancher. Why the hypocrisy?
- Mimi
  
  Crowe raises his cattle organically, grazing and finishing on his farm. His cattle lead a humane life, are not factory farmed.
  - Mimi
    
    Also, Crowe leaves large plots of native “brush” and trees, providing habitat for indigenous animals.

that’s so Incredible Cool of Nicole Kidman to have her own 100 acre cattle ranch in Australia. I bet these cows lead a very happy life before they are trucked down to the slaughterhouses where they will be terrified by the smell of blood and guts, by the rude treatment of slaughterhouse staff, some cows will be the unlucky ones who will be skinned alive because they weren’t killed properly, as is described in Eating Animals.
Other than that, Way To Go, miss Kidman !
