Fighting Back Against Animal Cruelty - Guest : Wayne Pacelle

Tens of millions of animals spend their entire live in agony and confinement, mostly because cruelty is built into the business model of huge Agri-Biz corporations. Huge, foreign-owned companies inflict unimaginable suffering on vast numbers of animals. The cruelty inherent in factory farming operations is not only terrible for the animals, but also bad for humans. Citizen groups in multiple states have pushed for laws to provide minimal standards for animal welfare, but now, Big Ag is attempting to undermine democracy by wiping out the positive changes made in recent years. Wayne Pacelle is one of the best known and most successful animal welfare advocates in the world. He co-founded two influential organizations which are fighting on Capital Hill and in state and local governments across the country on behalf of animals who are otherwise powerless. In this episode, Pacelle tells Jeremy and George about the daunting threats to animal welfare and human health by powerful interests for whom cruelty is seen as a shortcut to profits.  Learn more at https://AnimalWellnessAction.org  •••  GOT A TIP?
