Mike Wolf: Undercover in Americas Factory Farms

Published: June 27, 2019, 5:30 a.m.

Mike Wolf spent four years working undercover on factory farms. He has seen thousands of animals living in deplorable conditions and witnessed abuse that I\xa0think\xa0few of us can even imagine. He\u2019s now Director of Investigations for the animal protection organization, Compassion Over Killing.\xa0

Mike\xa0has led\xa0investigative efforts\xa0into meat, dairy, and egg facilities. He has overseen multiple investigations that have gone viral, sparking a national conversation about the treatment of farmed animals, and ultimately, impacting meaningful change. Among the investigative efforts Mike has led are a 2015 investigation into Hormel supplier\xa0Quality Pork Processors, exposing the dangers of a cruel USDA high-speed slaughter pilot program; and a 2016\xa0Tyson Foods\xa0investigation that offered the first hidden-camera look inside broiler breeder factory farms and provided hard-hitting evidence that drove unprecedented trials and convictions for cruelty to chickens.

Mike also has a strong passion for vegan fitness, and hopes to show how easy it is to gain vegan muscle as a member of PlantBuilt\u2019s Powerlifting team.

Since Mike and I met at his home in Arizona this spring, Compassion Over Killing has released another investigation. This time it was Martin Farms, a dairy farm in Pennsylvania that is a\xa0supplier for Nestle. The footage that they released is shocking to say the least. It\u2019s absolutely\xa0horrific\xa0and extremely difficult to watch but I beg you \u2013 watch it. Share it. It's the only way that\xa0change happens. As hard is it is for us to sit through and watch these videos \u2013 think about the animals that are actually living through this.\xa0Watch the video.
