we need to talk about Asha Sanctuary

hello, hello, hello. welcome to episode twelve of the podcast, hosted by the chaotic energy of @tyrathetaurus on twitter, tik tok and instagram. today we are going to be discussing the controversy surrounding the Asha Sanctuary in New York State. Tracy Murphy, the owner of Asha, has been running this sanctuary for over a decade. she recently came in contact with two cows that escaped a beef farm and wandered on to her property. she immediately reported the two cows to the SPCA where she awaited someone to claim ownership of the cows. the two cows were in her care for about 10 days before..well.. things turned. Scott Gregson, a New York State trooper, showed up at Asha to attempt to retrieve the cows that he planned to slaughter at 2 years old. after refusing to return the cows, Tracy was arrested and later released the same day. the case gained recognition from vegan activist and actor, Joaquin Phoenix, who spoke out in support of Tracy Murphy and her desire to save those two cows. in this episode, we are joined by Matt Albert, the attorney for Tracy Murphy and one of my best friend's, @torontoveganmom! we discuss the facts of this case, state some opinions and clear up ongoing allegations and rumors surrounding the case. so, grab a kombucha, grab a wine glass, grab a reusable water bottle and come be my friend for an hour or so?
