Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the new memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator’s Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act—the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than 40 years.
Eisnitz’s work has resulted in exposés by ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC’s PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1600 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she successfully fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere 10 years ago—was diagnosed three years ago, after she began writing her memoir—and is revealed at the book’s climax. Eisnitz has been vegan for two decades.
The Juicy Bits:
- When you find out what's going on with animals in the food system, you have no choice but to GO VEGAN. People are sensitive and can change. They're just usually unaware.
- People are unaware of what's going on in the system and don't even know the basics of animal behavior. COWS DO NOT NATURALLY PRODUCE MILK. Like humans, they lactate only after pregnancy and childbirth. And the only reason their milk is sold in stores is because their babies are stolen from them.
- Killing something that did not want to die is not humane.
- The Humane Farming Association conducts anti-cruelty investigations, helps with legislative campaigns and litigation, and saves animals.
- The Holocaust taught us what humans are capable of doing, and we're doing it now TO ANIMALS.
- 55 years ago, 10 BILLION animals in the world were slaughtered each year. Now, that same number is slaughtered in the US alone. Increased line speeds and gestation crates make this possible.
- The American Veterinary Medical Association is in bed with the meat industry and supports the atrocities.
- Gail's favorite foods include vegan chili with peanuts and pineapple, and hummus with chips.
