Each year, 10 billion animals are raised for consumption in the U.S. and most spend their lives on industrialized farms that aren’t federally mandated to treat animals humanely. An activist and investigator that goes by the name of “Pete” went undercover at factory farms to document abuses towards animals. A vegan, Pete worked undercover at a farm in Ohio and took footage of how farm animals are treated for the new HBO documentary, ?Death on a Factory Farm.” He joins The Takeaway to talk about his experience.
