The suffering comes from being crammed in enclosures where they can't even extend their legs for their entire lives, or, as I said, being separated from their families or having their throats slit.
Nathan Runkle's story is a powerful testament to how one person's determination can lead to significant change. Growing up in a small Midwestern town, Nathan was destined to become a fifth-generation farmer. Instead, he chose a different path, founding Mercy For Animals, a leading nonprofit dedicated to protecting factory-farmed animals. In this episode of 'Live Natural Live Well', Heather Lounsbury sits down with Nathan to explore his remarkable journey from the farm fields to the forefront of animal rights activism.
Nathan's new book, 'Mercy For Animals', takes us behind the scenes of his organization's efforts, from its grassroots beginnings to its current large-scale legislative campaigns. He shares gripping stories of undercover investigations and the risks involved in exposing the harsh realities of factory farming. Nathan also discusses the evolution of American agriculture, highlighting the shift from small local farms to vast industrial complexes and the profound consequences for animals and the environment.
Listeners will gain insight into how MFA works behind the scenes with major corporations like Nestlé to implement policies that spare countless animal lives and promote sustainable practices. Nathan's passion for compassionate food choices shines through as he explains how everyone can contribute to this cause. His vivid anecdotes and heartfelt commitment make this episode both informative and inspiring. Heather and Nathan's conversation delves into the ethical, environmental, and personal dimensions of animal agriculture.
Whether you're already an advocate or just curious about the impact of your food choices, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on making a difference. Tune in to 'Live Natural Live Well' and be inspired by Nathan Runkle's unwavering dedication to creating a kinder world for animals.
