I\u2019m currently facing a felony prosecution in Wright County after exposing Iowa Select Farms killing thousands of pigs via \u201cventilation shutdown,\"\u00a0which involves shutting down a building\u2019s vents as heat and steam are pumped in. The practice was so egregious that employees at the company sought the support of\u00a0Direct Action Everywhere, the animal rights group I organize with, in exposing and ultimately stopping it.<\/p>\n
As recently reported by the Intercept, a high-level executive at the company was fired for raising his concerns, and FBI agents were called in to try to flip a whistleblower into becoming an informant against us. It\u2019s all part of a long-term pattern: government support for an abusive and environmentally destructive industry, even to the point of intimidating and silencing its critics.<\/p>\n
