Episode notes

The speaker moved to London to study journalism and worked for an investigative agency that focused on factory farming.
The speaker witnessed the slaughter of various animal species and saw the negative impact of factory farming on the environment.
Engaging in the fight against factory farming can also address social justice issues and benefit humans.
There is a misconception that choosing to help animals disregards the impact on humans and other communities.
