Description

A compelling have a look at animal welfare and factory farming in the USA from Mercy For Animals, the leading international force in preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies.
 
Nathan Runkle would have been a fifth-generation farmer in his small midwestern town. As an alternative, he founded our nation’s leading nonprofit organization for protecting factory farmed animals. In Mercy For Animals, Nathan brings us into the trenches of his organization’s work; from MFA’s early days in grassroots activism, to dangerous and dramatic experiences doing undercover investigations, to the organization’s current large-scale efforts at making sweeping legislative change to offer protection to factory farmed animals and encourage compassionate food choices.

But this isn’t just Nathan’s story. Mercy For Animals examines how our country moved from a network of small, local farms with more than 50 percent of Americans involved in agriculture to an enormous coast-to-coast industrial complex controlled by a mere 1 percent of our population—and the consequences of this drastic change on animals in addition to our global and local environments. We also find out how MFA strives to offer protection to farmed animals in in the back of-the-scenes negotiations with companies like Nestlé and other brand names—conglomerates whose policy changes can save countless lives and support our planet. Alongside this unflinching snapshot of our current food system, readers are also offered hope and solutions—big and small—for ending mistreatment of factory farmed animals. From simple diet modifications to a clear explanation of how to contact corporations and legislators efficiently, Mercy For Animals proves that you don’t need to be a hardcore vegan or an animal-rights activist to make a powerful difference in the lives of animals.
