Mercy For Animals: One Man's Quest to Inspire Compassion and Improve the Lives of Farm Animals

A compelling look at animal welfare and factory farming in the United States from Mercy For Animals, the leading international force in preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies.
Â
Nathan Runkle would have been a fifth-generation farmer in his small midwestern town. Instead, he founded our nationâ€™s leading nonprofit organization for protecting factory farmed animals. In Mercy For Animals, Nathan brings us into the trenches of his organizationâ€™s work; from MFAâ€™s early days in grassroots activism, to dangerous and dramatic experiences doing undercover investigations, to the organizationâ€™s current large-scale efforts at making sweeping legislative change to protect factory farmed animals and encourage compassionate food choices.

But this isnâ€™t just Nathanâ€™s story. Mercy For Animals examines how our country moved from a network of small, local farms with more than 50 percent of Americans involved in agriculture to a massive coast-to-coast industrial complex controlled by a mere 1 percent of our populationâ€”and the consequences of this drastic change on animals as well as our global and local environments. We also learn how MFA strives to protect farmed animals in behind-the-scenes negotiations with companies like NestlÃ© and other brand namesâ€”conglomerates whose policy changes can save countless lives and strengthen our planet. Alongside this unflinching snapshot of our current food system, readers are also offered hope and solutionsâ€”big and smallâ€”for ending mistreatment of factory farmed animals. From simple diet modifications to a clear explanation of how to contact corporations and legislators efficiently, Mercy For Animals proves that you donâ€™t have to be a hardcore vegan or an animal-rights activist to make a powerful difference in the lives of animals.
