Camille Labchuk and guest co-host Kaitlyn Mitchell delve deeply into Animal Justice's request that governments deny bailout funding to factory farms and slaughterhouses, and instead fund a transition to a more resilient, plant-based agriculture system that's also more pandemic-proof. Business-as-usual isn't good for animals, workers, public health, the environment, or our food supply chain. It's time for a re-think.

Camille and Katie Sykes dive into the massive COVID-19 outbreaks at slaughterhouses in Canada and south of the border. Animals aren't the only victims of slaughterhouses—the meat industry also treats workers abysmally. Slaughterhouses are already one of the most dangerous workplaces imaginable, and now they have become coronavirus hotspots due to the meat industry's failure to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. Slaughterhouses are being forced to shut down, and there are now calls for a criminal workplace investigation after at least two Alberta slaughterhouse workers are dead. Meanwhile, the meat industry is already starting to "depopulate" animals because of its inability to pivot and adapt to new market conditions.
