And after that, I moved to London and I decided to study journalism. I did a master's degree in journalism. And when I finished, I started working for an investigative agency that provided services to many different NGOs, as you heard from my bio. And most of these assignments were about factory farming. So I saw many factory farms and I think I saw most species being slaughtered as well. I've been to many slaughterhouses. So that, of course, changed my life forever. I didn't know anything about factory farming before I started doing this work. And it was truly shocking and heartbreaking. But I also saw many other problems related to factory farming. So I saw vast amounts of land being deforsted in Latin America to grow grains, to feed animals. And I also visited many indigenous communities and communities of small farmers who were deeply harmed by crop production as well. That is

related to livestock. So
Speaker 1
for me, it became very clear that when you decide to fight factory farming, you will be helping animals, but you will also be fighting many other social justice problems or issues. So yeah, for me, you can make a huge difference when you choose this cause to work with. I
Speaker 2
feel like that's often a misconception actually that we're choosing animals to help animals over humans when actually so many of the animal caused issues like deforestation for feed or the environment that the workers in or, like you say, affecting indigenous communities. I feel like often those areas aren't as clear from the animal space.
