It all started with a sheep named Hilda and vegan hot dogs sold outside Grateful Dead concerts. Forty years later, Farm Sanctuary co-founder Gene Baur has turned that unlikely beginning into a movement for animal welfare. He’ll stop by First Light Books for a conversation with Austin filmmaker Richard Linklater about his new book, Farm Sanctuary: The Story of a Movement. Through photographs and personal stories, the book explores decades of animal rescue, activism, and efforts to challenge factory farming. The evening includes a booksigning and a chance to hear how one rescued sheep helped inspire a nationwide mission. – Erika Gonzalez
