Investigating the Evil of Factory Farming. With Gail Eisnitz | Ep. 114

from The Vegan Report

Gail is the winner of the Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare. She is the chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association.Her work as an investigator helped shut down some of the worst, most cruel animal‑exploitation operations in the U.S. But that's nothing compared to the impact of her first book, Slaughterhouse, which not only inspired many people to become vegan, but also shifted the focus of our entire movement toward factory farming, put pressure on regulators and lawmakers to enforce animal welfare laws, and became a template and inspiration for new generations of animal‑rights investigators.Now Gail is back with a new book, Out of Sight. I highly recommend the book. Visit the episode notes to get it now.In addition to talking about her book, we discussed the mysterious force for good that has guided Gail throughout her life, but also the evil she has confronted; how her life was threatened in this line of work, her thoughts on the welfarism vs. abolitionism debate, more specifically the cage-free standard, and much more.Follow or subscribe to the show now.
