My latest for @voxdotcom looks at livestock auctions: hidden spaces where animals are brutally handled, moved in and moved out no matter what. I am grateful to the undercover investigator who entered these areas to gather and expose the abuses.

Manitobans’ love of summer sausages, hot dogs and pork roasts is contributing to the death of Lake Winnipeg. And soon, milk, cheese and ice cream production in the North Dakota may make matters even worse. My latest for @WinnipegNews:. via @WinnipegNews.

I’ll be in court today to support our lawsuit against ag-gag legislation in Ontario.
Ontario’s dangerous ag gag law is BACK in court, after much of it was struck down as unconstitutional last year. Today, we'll be fighting in court to defend this monumental legal victory for animals & freedom of expression! ✊🐷 #StopAgGagLaws.
