Why we all deserve better than factory farming

  • サマリー

  • Factory farming is the biggest cause of animal cruelty in the world. Billions of farmed animals are suffering every day in an industrial global food system. This pain, stress and fear is not only harming them, but is impacting our own health and creating a global crisis. Scientific evidence shows that farmed animals are sentient beings who can think and feel, so how can understanding sentience change the way we treat the animals that we eat?


    In this episode we talked with:

    • Dr Hannah Larsen Global Animal Welfare Advisor for World Animal Protection. Hannah studied the lives and behaviour of free-range laying hens on commercial farms, leading her to identify how differences in individual personalities and behavioural traits can influence their welfare. She has applied her knowledge to policy development, research, and training, and worked at the Ministry of Primary Industries in New Zealand, one of the first countries in the world to introduce legislation recognising animals as sentient beings. In this episode, she explains what animal sentience means for factory-farmed animals.
    • Jo-Anne McArthur is an award-winning photographer and author. She has documented our complex relationship with animals around the globe and has worked undercover to help expose the cruelty and suffering that animals in factory farms endure. Based in Toronto, Canada in this episode, she discusses why farmed animal stories need to be heard and how animals' complex emotions are changing the way we see them
