Erin Wing is currently serving as the Deputy Director of Investigations for Animal Outlook and previously worked as an undercover investigator. Erin completed four investigations in the dairy, chicken and aquaculture industries, including the first-ever undercover expose of salmon aquaculture in the U.S. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, The Guardian and The New York Times.Erin's investigations and her advocacy work shed light on the interconnection of human and animal exploitation that occurs on farms in the animal agriculture system. Erin shares personal accounts from her compelling investigations to illustrate the dangers speciesism poses to all sentient beings on the planet. She also shares what it's like to live on a farmed animal sanctuary and the stark contrast of the animals' experience from industry to freedom. Erin said, “When it comes to learning how to process trauma, my greatest teachers have been animals.” Resources:Animal OutlookAnimal PartisanEugene VeganFestErin's first episode on Hope for the Animals Support this Podcast:Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate Living

We reframe the “egg crisis” (high prices and low supply of commercial hen's eggs in a bird flu outbreak) as a crisis of mass farming of animals, proposing sustainable alternative food solutions that can replace eggs and reduce the spread of zoonotic diseases, pollution, and the killing and harm of millions of wild and domesticated animals. Jennifer and Carrie discuss this in the context of the bird flu outbreak, as avian influenza is spreading and mutating in a variety of animal species (including cows used for dairy and human farm workers) – this infectious pathogen is an increasingly alarming issue for wild animals, farmed animals, and human health. The existence of factory farms keeps viruses circulating, making everyone less safe. We discuss how institutions can help us shift toward safer more humane, plant-based food systems. We end by discussing alternatives to eggs in your baking and cooking. Dr. Jennifer Molidor, Sr. Food Campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity is host Carrie Freeman's guest on this 42-minute podcast, recorded in late March 2025.

BREAKING NEWS: Animal Outlook releases shocking, new undercover video of chickens being abused in a California factory farm and is calling for the Fresno County District Attorney's office to file criminal animal cruelty charges against the corporation, which Animal Outlook identifies as Foster Farms, a major supplier to many big supermarkets. The video appears to show multiple instances of forklifts driving over and hitting live chickens, chickens being thrown, chickens being kicked and grabbed by their wings. Foster Farms says all of its chicken farms are American Humane Association Certified, and that the chickens it raises enjoy the 5 freedoms: including, “freedom from discomfort,” and “freedom from injury, pain, or disease.” Animal Outlook says its investigation “reveals a stark contrast, showing anything but humane care and freedom from discomfort, injury and fear.” Foster Farms is invited on any time to respond to Animal Outlook's allegations. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks to Animal Outlook's new Executive Director, Ben Williamson about this blockbuster breaking news and his fascinating history as a leader in the animal rights movement.

Still eating chicken? Well, then you MUST listen to this episode. An Animal Outlook undercover investigator joins us LIVE (without revealing his or her identity) to tell us about the horrific conditions this individual documented on video while working at a Virginia chicken farm. Among the allegations: water deprivation to the point that birds died of dehydration, food deprivation because feed was not delivered on schedule, birds thrown and kicked, injured and deformed, left to suffer. Animal Outlook's Exec Director Cheryl Leahy also talks to UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell about why they are seeking criminal charges and why she believes this abuse is not exceptional but systemic. The companies involved are invited on UnchainedTV to respond. For more, visit https://animaloutlook.org/

Dear EA Forum readers, The EA charity, Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC), just filed our second lawsuit! As many of you know, LIC is a litigation nonprofit dedicated to making factory-farm cruelty a liability.  We focus on chickens because of the huge numbers in which they suffer and the extreme severity of that suffering. Today, we sued one of the country's largest poultry producers and a KFC supplier, Case Farms, for animal cruelty.  The complaint comes on the heels of a 2021 undercover investigation by Animal Outlook, revealing abuse at a Morganton, N.C. Case Farms hatchery that processes more than 200,000 chicks daily.  Our lawsuit attacks the notion that Big Ag is above the law.  We are suing under North Carolina's 19A statute, which lets private parties enjoin animal cruelty. Case Farms was documented knowingly operating faulty equipment, including a machine piston which repeatedly smashes chicks to death and a dangerous metal conveyor belt which traps and kills young birds.  Case Farms was also documented crushing chicks' necks between heavy plastic trays. Case Farms supplies its chicken to KFC, Taco Bell, and Boar's Head, among other customers.

The people of California spoke loud and clear when they overwhelmingly passed Proposition 12, which requires animals bred for food, like pigs, be given enough room to turn around. Unbelievably, millions of pigs are kept in crates that are literally only slightly bigger than the size of their bodies. These pig gestation crates do not allow the pigs to turn around or even scratch themselves. They amount to animal torture on an institutionalized scale. Well, now, pork producers want to circumvent the will of the people of California and are trying to have this law nullified. The case is set to be heard by the Supreme Court of the United States on October 11th, 2022. It has global implications because Prop 12 will not allow these cruelly-produced meat products to be sold in California, which is the world's 5th largest economy. Animal Outlook is one of the organizations joining the opposition to the pork industry, speaking out for voiceless animals. Cheryl Leahy, Animal Outlook's Executive Director, speaks to UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell about this case. Cheryl will also tell us about Animal Outlook's lawsuit against the American Heart Association for the AFA's Heart-Check certification mark on certain meat products, despite meat consumption's connection to heart disease. The case concerns California's ability to ban the sale of pork from pigs that have been confined for nearly their entire lives in cages so small they can't even turn around. What is the case about? Pork producers have challenged California's Proposition 12, which requires that all eggs, veal, and pork produced and/or sold in the state comply with basic minimal space requirements to enable animals – including pregnant pigs in the pork industry – to have enough room to spread their wings or limbs and turn around. The pork industry does not want to have to abide by Prop 12 and is seeking to nullify the law.

Animal cruelty isn't anything new. What's even more damning is that the very farm animals we eat are treated horribly. Each year, farm animal abuse goes to a new height. The supply and demand of meat mean farmers treat animals in the worst possible ways. Farm animal abuse has been the status quo for decades. Animal Outlook works to challenge the status quo of animal agribusiness. Their goal revolves around undercover investigations, legal advocacy, and food systems reforms to empower everyone to go vegan.

Erin is the Deputy Director of Investigations at Animal Outlook, a national animal-advocacy nonprofit organisation. Erin was an undercover investigator for two years. She left the field after her last investigation at the Dick Van Dam Dairy in California, where she saw cruelty, abuse & suffering every day. Through her new position with Animal Outlook, Erin works closely with investigators, providing support & resources. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube. We discuss: 00:00 Welcome 01:38 Erin's Intro - Undercover farm & fishery investigations & Animal Outlook 02:46 What's Real? - Growing up very religious... - Church every Sunday, Biblical moral standards - The Golden Rule "Do unto others..." - "There was a point in my life where I started to question... there always seemed to be some exclusions... some conditions" - "'Others' encompassed everyone... human, animals, children, everyone regardless of sexuality, background, identification..." - No longer Christian, now non-religious... "someone who just wants to make the world a better place for everyone in it" - "As I got older I started questioning things more" - Very religious mother "faith based" who still encouraged questions - Religious belief: "That's great for them... as long as no one is being hurt" - Questioning both the facts & ethics of Christianity - "It really came to a head for me... [I] managed to fall into almost every marginalised community" LGBTQ+, race... - "I fell into so many of those categories that potentially might be excluded from salvation" - The supernatural, luck, agnosticism? - "I never rule anything out" humility 18:25 What Matters? - [Golden Rule] "the way I would like the world to function" - "...my own trauma & hardship & suffering" - Compassion for it's own sake or because god commands? 23:30 Who Matters? - "I've always had this connection with animals" - As a child "I did not see a lot of kindness", often conditional compassion - With non-human animals: "There are no conditions to receive affection from them"... "Those were the purest connections I could make" - Making friends with a scary-sounding neighbourhood dog "I just felt a wet nose & breathing" - Saving a stray dog & drowning kittens - Watching an animal farming documentary at ~13-14 yrs old "I immediately felt horrified" - "I could feel that contradiction... why am I eating this?" ...and much more.

Excited to be joined by NLC Los Angeles Fellow Cheryl Leahy. She shares more about a just released investigation conducted by the organization she leads called Animal Outlook. In 2021, a brave Animal Outlook investigator took a hidden camera inside a North Carolina chicken hatchery owned by Case Farms that processes more than 200,000 chicks daily. Their investigation reveals the torment these fragile chicks experience and the devastating impact of viewing animals as food products. Cheryl talks about why these investigations are so important and how you can help. Don't miss it.https://animaloutlook.org/investigations/case-farms-hatchery/

On this episode of the Animal Law Podcast, I speak with Piper Hoffman of Animal Outlook and, once again, to Jay Shooster, of the Richman Law Group, about Animal Outlook v Cooke Aquaculture, a consumer protection case brought in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia based in allegations of deceptive advertising about the welfare of fish, specifically the salmon in Cooke's aquaculture facilities. You may recall seeing some of the footage of the treatment of these salmon when Animal Outlook first released the results of this undercover investigation. You may also recall having heard about it on Our Hen House, our sister podcast, when we had Erin Wing, the undercover operative who took that footage, on to tell us about it back on Episode 587. Now we are covering the next development, i.e., this consumer protection lawsuit that is using the information gathered in that investigation to bely some of the claims made about how these poor fish are treated. Piper Hoffman brings more than 20 years of legal experience to bear as the Senior Director of Litigation at national farmed animal advocacy group Animal Outlook. Vegetarian since childhood and vegan since the 20th century, she earned her J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she successfully lobbied the school to offer its first Animal Law class. After a federal clerkship, Piper began her animal law career as a staff attorney at the Animal Legal Defense Fund. She has taught Animal Law at New York City law schools since 2014. Piper is especially proud of her past contributions to Our Hen House's website, podcast, and much-missed TV show. Jay Shooster is an associate and the Senior Animal Welfare Legal Fellow at Richman Law Group. Jay has represented nonprofits and consumers in numerous cases against large food companies, including Tyson Foods, Kraft Heinz, and Unilever.

“It's kind of like light… you flick a light switch on in the room and when you flip that switch, what you want is the experience of a lit room. You're not thinking about whether it comes from renewable energy or fossil fuels. You just want light. Well, I think most people just want meat. They don't care if animals are slaughtered. In fact, they probably would prefer that they not be slaughtered for it.” – Paul Shapiro Paul is the founder and CEO of the Better Meat Co., an alternative protein company that is replacing animals in our food supply. He's also the author of, Clean Meat: How Growing Meat Without Animals Will Revolutionize Dinner and the World. Paul spent the first two-plus decades of his career in animal protection. First, he founded and ran the animal protection organization, Compassion Over Killing, which is now called Animal Outlook, and then he spent 13 years at the Humane Society of the United States, working to give farmed animals better lives. He changed laws and the world for massive amounts of animals across this county. And then he had a realization… that food technology would save far more lives than anything else possibly ever could.

The Supreme Court of the United States has rejected the meat industry's challenge to a California law prohibiting cruel confinement of farmed animals! This is a HUGE victory for animal rights and the animals themselves! On June 28, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected the North American Meat Institute's (NAMI) challenge to California's Proposition 12. Proposition 12 is due to go into effect on January 1, 2022. It strengthens existing California law to ban the intensive confinement of egg-laying chickens, mother pigs and calves used in the veal industry. The law also prohibits the sale in California of eggs, pork and veal from facilities that confine animals in cruel cages. Voters adopted Proposition 12 in 2018. When NAMI sued California in an attempt to stop the state from implementing Proposition 12, Animal Outlook voluntarily intervened in the lawsuit on behalf of the State of California to defend Proposition 12 and protect the millions of hens, pigs and calves used to produce meat and eggs sold in California. Animal Outlook was joined by Animal Equality, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Compassion in World Farming, Farm Sanctuary, the Humane League and the Humane Society of the United States. In rejecting NAMI's challenge, the Supreme Court upheld an appellate court's denial of NAMI's claim that Proposition 12 violated the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court's decision affirms the right of states to pass laws protecting animals, public health and safety. While an appeal in a second lawsuit against Proposition 12, brought by the National Pork Producers Council, still looms, the Supreme Court's decision against NAMI is a massive victory for animals. AnimalOutlook.org is a great site to visit to get involved and learn more. Here to discuss all this is Animal Outlook's legal counsel Will Lowrey.

Animals are not things. They are living, breathing, thinking, feeling beings. That's why In Defense of Animals and Animals & Media are calling for an update to the Associated Press Stylebook's recommendation on the use of personal pronouns for nonhuman animals. They are joined by more than 80 respected leaders and scholars in animal advocacy and conservation who support this change, including renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, biologists Dr. Marc Bekoff and Dr. Jonathan Balcombe, and leaders of organizations such as Center for Biological Diversity, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Mercy For Animals, Encompass, Animals & Society Institute, Animal Outlook, Nonhuman Rights Project, Center for Animal Law Studies at Lewis & Clark Law School, JaneUnChained News and other media organizations, such as Sentient Media, We Animals Media, the Journal of Critical Animal Studies and Animal Sentience journal. The scientific consensus is that nonhuman animals are conscious beings — someone not something —  and the language we use should reflect that. Here to talk about it with JaneUnChained.com's Jane Velez-Mitchell is IDA' s Alicia Graef.
