Wayne Hsiung

And all the parents, everybody thought I was like the most guai kid because whatever the adults told me to do, I'd always do it.

I was a very, very compliant child.

And this is the first time I realized not everything that I'm taught is right.

And that sense of distrust ended up being very important to the next 30 plus years of my life.

So Wayne grows up, goes off to college, reads Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, becomes a vegan, goes on to law school, becomes a law professor.

But it wasn't until years later that he finally stopped following the rules and started figuring out how to do the thing that he had wanted to do all those years ago in that restaurant in China.

Let me show you a photo of what's happening inside this farm.

Our activists were in this farm as recently as a couple days ago.

He co-founds this group called Direct Action Everywhere.

Folks, we are about to march into a massive factory farm in the heart of darkness and hell.

Among other things, they break into factory farms and videotape everything to show people what the farm is like inside.

The only way to make this act, this violence stop is for people to take direct action.

And, you know, they've done this like dozens of times, like their videos have gotten thousands of views.

And in 2017, one of their videos gets published by the New York Times.

So Circle 4 is a farm that processes and kills 1.2 million pigs every year.

So Wayne's standing in this kind of scrubby desert field at twilight with four other guys.

Paul's going to be manning the camera.

The rest of you are going to help me with logistics and supplies.

And just over the hill behind them is this enormous pig farm owned by Smithfield Foods, one of the largest pork producers in the world.

Our naming objective today is exposure, to show the world what's actually happening behind these closed doors.
