Description Toward Books 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.

Nathan Runkle would have been a fifth-generation farmer in his small midwestern town. Instead, he founded our nation's leading nonprofit organization for protecting factory farmed animals. In Mercy For Animals, Nathan brings us into the trenches of his organization's work; from MFA's early days in grassroots activism, to dangerous and dramatic experiences doing undercover investigations, to the organization's current large-scale efforts at making sweeping legislative change to protect factory farmed animals and encourage compassionate food choices.

But this isn't just Nathan'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 population--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 Nestle and other brand names--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 solutions--big and small--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 don't have to be a hardcore vegan or an animal-rights activist to make a powerful difference in the lives of animals.

Crit Containing Books Mercy for Animals: One Man's Quest to Inspire Compassion and Improve the Lives of Farm Animals

This book combines a few different things. It begins with the recollections of Nathan Runkle about his life (so far), including his struggles growing up in rural Ohio and going on to found one of the leading animal rights organizations in the USA. The second section is a details history of Mercy for Animals, including many of the shocking findings of their undercover investigations into factory farms. Finally, he offers a hopeful vision of our path forward toward becoming a more compassionate

I was hooked from the moment I opened this book until I turned the last page. You can tell that the author is not only knowledgeable in the subject matter but also very passionate about it. It really pulls at your heart strings.I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I find the descriptions of the truth of what goes on in the animal agriculture industry far more personal than the videos. The author really grabs you with his descriptions and brings you into the world of farmed

Mercy for Animals is a well written and insightful book. It's also kind of three books in one. It begins very personally and autobiographically with the author's story, especially how he came to found what would become one of the top animal rights organizations in the world at a very young age. The bulk of the book is comprised of various stories of animal rescue and the documentation of abuse on factory farms once Mercy for Animals was off the ground. Some of this section can be hard to read

This was another inspiring book on animal activism and had some pretty graphic, difficult scenes of animal brutality in factory farms. The very last section of this book is about raising awareness and money and it isnt my favorite part but I can see its an essential part as is this book. More people need to put down their burgers (and their judgments about plant-based burgers) and actually open their eyes to the abuse thats allowing them to not only be so spoiled but also so blissfully unaware

Part memoir, part exposé on factory farming, and part call to action...if I weren't already vegan, this book would have converted me. It has, no doubt, bolstered my desire to make a bigger difference. Though reading the stories of needless violence and torture foisted on billions of living, feeling beings worldwide was difficult, it was a small discomfort compared to farm animals' reality. It's necessary to know and understand the volume of cruelty that comes with every animal product that the

Obviously I don't eat meat, so this book was preaching to the choir. That said, I do feel that everyone should read it. It's so easy to overlook the absolute abhorrent abuse that goes on in CAFOs all over the country because it isn't in our faces. Yet, the abuse to animals, to sentient beings, is appalling. Even if you continue to eat meat, I do think it's important to know what your bacon goes through before it hits your plate and through MFAs years of undercover operations into corporate

This is a wonderful book. One that I wish everyone would read. It is such a passionate book, and quite informative. Nathan has a huge heart for animals, and is dedicated to sharing his experiences and knowledge with anyone willing to have an open heart. I highly recommend this book. I was very glad to have won this through a Library Thing giveaway. A great win!
