019 Leah Garces: Author of Grilled: Turning Adversaries to Allies to Change the Chicken Industry and President of Mercy for Animals
In this episode, Kathy and Leah discuss:
Leah’s leap of faith to leave her life in England and move to Georgia to understand, and ultimately partner with, chicken farmers
The lives led by newborn chicks in the six weeks they live before being killed for human consumption
Her relationship with chicken farmer Craig Watts which allowed her to see that farmers, too, are agribusiness victims
Working with Jim Purdue of the iconic Purdue family who wants to “be the disruptor” of the chicken industry
Key Takeaways:
The slaughter line at chicken facilities move so fast that gruesome errors are routine and working conditions are equally inhumane
Many farmers long to get out of the business of growing animals, but are too indebted to do so.
Listening to, understanding, and working with “the enemy” is the best way to bring about real and lasting change
