“Little Red Barns”: Will Potter on How Animal Agriculture Harms Animals, People and Democracy

In a part two episode with journalist and author Will Potter, we discuss his recent book “Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth From Farm to Fable.” We talk about the hidden brutality of factory farms, undercover activists and investigators bringing the truth to light and the industry’s attempts to silence them. We get into how this industry was an early architect of corporate and state repression models. We close with a conversation about the recent attempt at beagle liberation at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin.
