Tell your friends and family what you've learned about factory farming.

Factory farming thrives in the dark, shielded by a cone of silence, ignored by our politicians, our media and society at large.

Its victims are voiceless.

They need your voice.

I was thinking about this when I was back in New Zealand a few months ago with our three-year-old son Willie visiting my childhood farm.

Willie's started asking what I do at work all day.

He just doesn't understand strategic philanthropy to reform factory farming.

No matter how many times I repeat it.

So I told him, I'm trying to make the world a little bit more like that farm.

We can have that world.

Humanity has already amassed unprecedented wealth and power.

Soon, advances in AI will make us more powerful still.

And we will face a choice, a test of our humanity.

Will we use that power to factory farm ever more animals, or will we use it to end this cruelty?

Humans are animals too.

What separates us from the pigs and the chickens is our ability to make moral progress.

We should use it.

Thank you.

I think that the end of factory farming is far from inevitable.

Every year, we're factory farming about 2% more animals globally.
