We talk about the hidden brutality of factory farms, undercover activists and investigators bringing the truth to light and the industry's attempts to silence them. We get into how this industry was an early architect of corporate and state repression models. We close with a conversation about the recent attempt at beagle liberation at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin.
