Inspirational Read

Recensito in Canada il 8 ottobre 2017

Acquisto verificato

I found Nathan's story very inspiring - I've been a supporter of MFA, along with several other animal welfare organizations, for some time and so was interested to learn in how MFA came about and this book does exactly that. Kudos to Nathan and his team at MFA for being relentless in their pursuit of animal abusers both personal and corporate. The stories told in the book, including the investigations, often left me in tears but these are the stories that need to be told to effect change. If you don't know what goes on behind the farm doors, you should - it will change you forever. Reading this book will definitely give you a good perspective on why this issue is so important.

Blown away!

Recensito in Canada il 6 giugno 2018

I am in awe of this book. It is beautifully written and filled with stories of the bravest souls who go undercover to expose what is happening to farm animals - I have no idea where they get the strength. I am blown away. It is incredibly moving and despite the incredibly heart wrenching stories of the animals, it filled me with hope for the future. MFA has created amazing changes for animals on a huge scale, and reading this has made me want to be part of this movement.

An awe inspiring book. Difficult to read some parts that describe the cruelty done to factory animals and birds. However we all need to be educated and bear witness to what is being done.
Excellent book. Well written. Highly recommend it. Nathan and his team are my heroes.

Gripping Details of Undercover Animal Rights Operations

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 24 ottobre 2017

Acquisto verificato

If you don’t understand why people are vegan, what’s wrong with dairy or eggs, and/or you think of active animal rights protestors as going too far (I think this sometimes also), I urge you to read this book. Nathan’s story starts with his upbringing and motivations, but quickly shifts to graphic descriptions of the famous undercover operations conducted by Mercy For Animals (MFA). I had seen the videos; they have helped shape my life over the last decade. But now to see the faces, hear the stories behind those videos—it was gripping. By partway through the book, my hands were shaking with rage and horror. And I already knew what happened. If you don’t know, please consider hearing Nathan’s stories. Even if they don’t influence your own beliefs, they should provide a better understanding of why vegans feel the way they do. (Personal note: that’s not about food. It’s about what our relationship is and should be with other species. And how we impact suffering and joy in the world, the way that we see it.) Then the book ends with a positive section - about plant-based food alternatives and vegans who are changing the world.

If you are a vegan and require no convincing, it’s worth reading to hear the details of these undercover operations and the brave heroes who conducted them. Be warned—it’s as ugly as you think it’s going to be. And the whole time you will be internally screaming that making exploitation humane isn’t even the point. But yet, MFA’s reforms have reduced suffering for so many. What they have done and are doing must be embraced as we strive for a greater ideal. If you don’t think you can handle these upsetting stories, consider buying an e-book to show support. Or donate to MFA. By the way, you’ll probably skim the last section as I did, since I know more than I need to about plant-based proteins and famous vegans. (Also, still ewww on lab-grown tissue and egg fluid. Sorry, I cannot be convinced on this!)

The story had additional personal significance as I spent the last ten years in the Dayton, Ohio region where Nathan grew up, and now know the surroundings and culture well, including the attitudes toward dairy, eggs, leather, and meat.

The book is also a fast read. Well worth your time.

Nathan and all the MFA undercover agents, thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for sharing your stories. They will not leave me.

Inspiring, and must read for animal lovers, and anyone who eats animal products

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 maggio 2018

Acquisto verificato

This book has effectively reinforced my decision to be a monthly donor for MFA. What fantastic work they do, and how inspiring Mr. Runkle's story is! And to think he started advocating at such a young age. Most of us see and hear about evil, but don't want to do anything about it. This man did, and what a difference he's making.

I'm not a full-fledged vegan, and am what you would call a flexitarian. I eat 80% vegan/plant based and 20% animal products (mostly when I'm at family gatherings with mine or the boyfriend's family, or if I'm eating somewhere with others where they don't have good vegetarian options). But I care very much about nutrition and where my food comes from, and have always loved animals, all my life.

The book starts off with Nathan Runkle's story and how he eventually founded the organization. He talks about various investigators with MFA and what they documented when they went undercover at factory farms (not for the faint of heart, but informative, eye-opening, and necessary to know. After all, we all have a right to know where our food is coming from and what we're putting in our bodies). It concludes with plant-based companies and options, and a chapter on how you can help to make a difference.

I donate monthly to MFA and will continue to do so, because they're doing wonderful work.

Highly recommended for anyone who's looking for ways to make eating and living more compassionate, anyone who loves animals, and anyone who wants to know where our meat and dairy and eggs truly comes from (at least, 99% of it).

Eye-Opening to Reality of Animal Agriculture

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 gennaio 2020

Acquisto verificato

This book is not just for vegans/vegetarians. Meat eaters should certainly read this to be informed of the reality of what is truly going on in factory farming and the systems in place to keep it that way.

The work that Nathan and the undercover investigators do is heartbreaking and eye-opening. They are collecting proof of the institutionalized abuse that is happening on factory farms, which has been skillfully hidden for years. These stories need to be shared because it is the reality of the world for these animals. They do not simply have "one bad day" when they are slaughtered, as most people like to think of farmed animals, but their entire lives are pain. Most meat-eaters would not willfully support such abuse, and this book shines a light on what is really happening.
