We Animals Media founder, Jo-Anne McArthur recently sat down with investigative journalist Andrew Wasley to discuss their shared experiences of documenting factory farming systems worldwide.

Jo-Anne McArthur has been documenting the hidden lives of animals, including those used for food, for nearly 20 years. Her award-winning reportage has taken her to more than sixty countries.

Similarly, as an award-winning food journalist, Andrew Wasley has spent the better part of two decades investigating the hidden costs of cheap meat. He’s revealed the brutal conditions inside factory farms and abattoirs, exposed the devastating environmental impacts of industrial agribusiness and uncovered shocking food safety scandals that put the health of millions at risk.
