Agricultural Absurdities: From Edited Screams to Forced Labor | Rising Anxieties


Listen Later



In this episode of Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan dives into the agricultural industry’s latest pearl-clutching moments. From state fair organizers panicking over PETA’s “Hell on Wheels” truck to a farmer claiming slaughterhouse screams are “edited,” this episode exposes the absurd lengths the animal agriculture industry will go to avoid confronting reality. Meanwhile, Trader Joe’s is suing activists, and politicians are suggesting Medicaid recipients should replace migrant workers in slaughterhouses—because apparently brutal labor conditions are perfect for vulnerable populations.

This episode explores:

  • How state fair organizers are developing “crisis plans” to combat the terrifying threat of activists handing out stickers
  • The mind-boggling claim that pig screams in slaughterhouse footage are “edited” by a representative from “Farmers Against Misinformation”
  • Trader Joe’s legal battle against Direct Action Everywhere for disrupting sales of Petaluma Poultry products
  • The agriculture industry’s simultaneous complaints about labor shortages while receiving increased government handouts
