pattrice jones is an ecofeminist writer, educator, and activist.[3][4] She is the co-founder of VINE Sanctuary in Springfield, Vermont, an LGBTQ-run farmed animal sanctuary.[4][5][6]
jones has been an activist for social change since the 1970s.[7][3] She stopped eating meat when she was 15, the same year that she came out as a lesbian. She later became vegan, as she felt cows and hens were being sexually exploited for their milk and eggs.[3]
In the year 2000, jones and her partner Miriam Jones founded Eastern Shore Sanctuary in rural Maryland.[4][3] The sanctuary was relocated to Vermont in 2009, and later renamed to VINE ("Veganism Is the Next Evolution") Sanctuary.[4][5]
In 2012, jones became involved in a battle over the lives of Bill and Lou, two oxen at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont. After one of the oxen, Lou, became injured, the school decided to slaughter both and serve them as food in the dining hall.[8] Students and animal rights advocates protested, and jones offered the oxen a home at VINE Sanctuary. The college ultimately euthanized Lou. The controversy made national headlines.[9] jones wrote about the events in her book, The Oxen at the Intersection.[3][4]
jones writes and lectures about animal rights from an intersectional approach,[7] connecting speciesism with racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.[10]
