Ep 47 - Out of Sight: 40 Years Investigating Slaughterhouses | Gail Eisnitz | Humane Farming Association

In this episode, we are honoured to sit down with Gail Eisnitz, Chief Investigator for the Humane Farming Association (HFA) and a true pioneer of animal cruelty investigations in the USA. Gail has spent 43 years exposing the hidden horrors of the animal farming and slaughter industries, but her latest book, Out of Sight, reveals a health battle she was fighting behind the scenes.Gail opens up about her childhood struggles with undiagnosed OCD and a rare visual processing disorder, and how those early feelings of isolation led her to identify with the helplessness of animals. We discuss her career as the first female national investigator in the 1980s, her courageous work documenting slaughterhouse violations while undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and her relentless pursuit of justice against the unyielding power of industry and law enforcement.Finally, Gail shares what it was like receiving a diagnosis for her mystery illness after 60 years of searching for answers, and how she continues to lead the HFA’s mission to protect farm animals today.Connect with Gail:⁠Buy ‘Out of Sight’⁠⁠Learn more about Gail ⁠ ⁠Follow Gail on Instagram⁠Follow Gail on FacebookConnect with Gail on LinkedInLearn more and support HFA:Learn more about HFA Follow HFA on InstagramFollow HFA on Facebook____LINKS Sponsor the podcastBe our guestPodcast merch Please subscribe to support the show.Follow us on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠Facebook⁠
