Today, I am joined by karol orzechowski, A longtime animal advocate with a passion for advocacy, art, statistics, and tech. In addition to years of investigative work on factory farms, karol is the director of Maximum Tolerated Dose, a feature-length documentary about the psychological toll of vivisection on both animals and humans. He completed a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and an MA in Communications and Culture at York University, writing theses on nationalism and the Atlantic seal hunt, and Canadian rodeo culture, respectively. When he's not working for Faunalytics, karol is the Board Chair of a non-profit independent news publication in his hometown. Outside of work, karol is often reading about computer hacking and infosec, organizing and performing at events in his local arts scene, or walking with Raoul the rescue dog. In this episode karol shares his experience as an undercover investigator, how even 20+ years in it is still possible to feel like the odd person out when surrounded by non-vegan friends and family, the study that launched what is now Faunalytics into the news, his vegan journey and more!
