In 2014, after moving to New Jersey with her husband, Leanne Lauricella brought home her first goats: baby Jax and Opie. She was addicted immediately. Two months later she added Tig, Nero, and Otto to the crew. Leanne, who is vegan, was in love with all of them, and she wanted to share their individual personalities and funny antics with the rest of the world in hopes that people would start to view them as fun and lovable pets rather than food sources. In the calendar Goats of Anarchy 2018 Leanne shares adorable photos of her goats with descriptions of their personalities and funny anecdotes about their antics.

When she left New York City for the wilds of New Jersey in 2011, Leanne Laurciella knew nothing about animal sanctuaries. She started her Instagram account, @goatsofanarchy, shortly after getting her first two goats, Jax and Opie. Over 400,000 followers and one Webby Award later, Leanne's Instagram has turned into a non-profit organization that continues to provide special-needs goats a happy and loving forever home. Today, Leanne somehow finds time to write while caring for her goat family, and has written a coffee table book, children's books, and calendars about everyday life at her sanctuary.
