Mad Cowboy (1998)

Howard Lyman, known as the Mad Cowboy, offers "Plain truth from the Cattle Rancher who won't eat meat".

He is a fourth-generation family farmer from Montana. His rude awakening came when,soon after his brother died of dioxin poisoning, Howard faced a bout with life-threatening cancer. A death-bed promise caused him to re-prioritize his life's values. After 20 years of operating a feed lot, he sold his ranch and started working for farmers in financial trouble. He was a lobbyist in Washington, and ran for Congress in 1982.

He is the former Director of the "Beyond Beef Campaign" & the Humane Society of the United States' "Eating With Conscience" Campaign; past President of both the International Vegetarian Union, and EarthSave International; and is currently President of Voice for a Viable Future.

He and Oprah Winfrey won the 1998 "Veggie Libel" suit, precipitated by Lyman's remarks to Oprah's 20 million viewers that "Mad Cow Disease" could make AIDS look like child's play if the American meat industry continued turning cows into cannibals.

Also showing the 13 minute short:

Life Behind Bars: the Sad Truth About Factory Farming

Narrated by Mary Tyler Moore this film documents the acute animal suffering caused by extreme confinement on mechanized farms. With undercover footage taken by Farm Sanctuary, this compelling video provides a rare first-hand look inside factory farm warehouses and exposes the brutal conditions that agribusiness wants to keep hidden from public view.
