'An animal activist's journey to the "other side"' Joanna Lumley
This is the story of what happens when we cross enemy lines to look
for solutions. Leah Garces has dedicated her career to fighting for
the rights of the animals that end up on our plates. As the former
US Executive Director of Compassion in World Farming and the
current President of the non-profit group Mercy for Animals, she
has led the fight against the sprawling chicken industry that
raises billions of birds in cruel conditions - all to satisfy our
appetite for meat. Grilled is Leah's story of working alongside the
food and farming industry for animal welfare and ethical food.
Instead of fighting and protesting and shaming - approaches that
simply haven't worked previously - Garces has instead tried to find
common ground with producers. She has worked alongside owners of
the megafarms, befriending them, having frank conversations with
them, and ultimately encouraging change through dialogue and
discussion. Leah is helping to directly improve the lives of
millions of farm animals, and pushing alternatives such as
plant-based substitutes and lab-grown meats to the top of the
agenda, with some of the mega-farm conglomerates joining forces
with her to explore these avenues. When she started her journey,
Leah Garces did not have much empathy to spare for the contract
chicken farmer -until she actually met one and tried to understand
the difficulties they faced. This is the story of giving in to
discomfort for the sake of progress. It's a story of the power of
human connection, and what happens when we practice empathy toward
our enemies.
