Episode Description

Asha Farm Sanctuary founder Tracy Murphy speaks to UnchainedTV about her ordeal and persecution. Murphy was a New York business executive who went vegan due to her love of animals. A decade ago, she moved to a rural area north of Buffalo to start her own sanctuary, called Asha’s Farm Sanctuary. Things were going wonderfully until 2 cows wandered onto her sanctuary property in the summer of 2022. Murphy took them in and fed them. Then, all hell broke loose. She was ultimately arrested, shackled, charged with a felony and gagged from doing interviews. And, she was targeted by protests and threats as, she says, the surrounding community turned against her. Now, her charge reduced to a misdemeanor, she tells her story to UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell and pleads for help to keep her sanctuary going and get through this persecution and prosecution.
