Paul Picklesimer and Jon Frohnmayer joined me in an investigation of the largest pig farm in the nation, Smithfield’s Circle Four Farms. Now they’re joining me as we fight for our freedom – and for the the right to rescue animals from abuse – in a trial that will unfold in the next week. At risk is 11 years in prison. And we are facing unprecedented obstacles, including a local sheriff who has told animal rights activists, “You will be killed. And I am not going to be there to stop. It.”

But, as we discuss in this podcast, we are ready for this fight. Because we have support from people across the world – including, maybe, from you.

This may be the second to last time you hear my voice on this podcast, as trial begins on October 3. To all of you who’ve joined us over the past year, thank you. And let’s get ready for the fight of our lives.
