Tips to alleviate animal cruelty in our food system

In the previous episode of The Animal Guide for Curious Humans, host Maureen Armstrong spoke with Steve McIvor, CEO of World Animal Protection about the many ways humans are cruel to the animals we rely on for food. It was an illuminating and somewhat disturbing discussion that ended on a positive note: you have the power to help reduce the cruelty caused to animals in the food system even if you aren’t a vegan or vegetarian.In this episode, Maureen shares her seven strategies for thoughtful consumption of animal products in our diet that will help address the current animal cruelty crisis in the global food system.  The strategies include looking at what we eat, where we eat, and the importance of speaking out to create positive change for billions of animals.  Ready to start?
