There is one thing that Big Ag absolutely does not want us to talk about. And that is slaughterhouses. So let's talk about them, in depth, for this entire episode. Let's talk about why they are hidden, the harm they cause, not just to animals, but also human societies and the environment. And, most importantly, let's talk about how to close them down, for good.

To discuss this topic, I have with me Dr. Amy Fitzgerald, a Professor & researcher at the University of Windsor.

She has written multiple books such as:

Animal Advocacy and Environmentalism: Understanding and Bridging the Divide https://www.amazon.ca/Animal-Advocacy-Environmentalism-Understanding-Movements-ebook/dp/B07M9C91XS

Animals as Food: (Re)connecting production, processing, consumption and impacts https://www.amazon.ca/Animals-Food-connecting-Production-Consumption/dp/1611861748

Animal Abuse and Family Violence: Researching the Interrelationships of Abusive Power https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Abuse-Family-Violence-Interrelationships/dp/0773461892
