I worked undercover in America's factory farms and slaughterhouses, documenting the hidden reality of industrial animal agriculture. Every day, I witnessed and filmed systematic cruelty that most people couldn't imagine exists in our food system. These experiences changed me forever, showing me that the only way to create real change is to expose what the industry works so hard to hide from the public.
Our investigations have consistently proven to be the most powerful tool for shifting public awareness and behavior. When people see footage of standard industry practices – the brutal reality of what happens to animals behind closed doors – they can no longer ignore the truth about where their food comes from. Time and again, we've seen how a single investigation can lead to criminal charges, policy changes, and thousands of people choosing more compassionate food options.
But this crucial work can only continue with your support. Each investigation requires extensive resources, from sophisticated equipment to legal support, all while ensuring our investigators' safety in these dangerous environments. Your donation helps us expose the truth about factory farming and create lasting change for animals who desperately need someone to witness and document their suffering.
Previous investigations have led to:
Cruelty charges against the owners and managers of certain facilities
An end to some of the worst-of-the-worst farming practices
Stronger protections for animals in the law
The closing of several facilities with long abuse records
The footage we capture is difficult to watch, but it's the truth that consumers deserve to see. Together, we can pull back the curtain on industrial animal agriculture and create a more compassionate world.
For the animals,
