Paul Shapiro is Senior Director for Farm Animal Protection with the Humane Society of the United States. We spoke via an audio recorded phone call on Jan 13, 2012.
Shapiro said there are a number of things vegans and omnivores ought to be able to agree on when it comes to factory farming. He talked about how this issue connects with faith-based communities , with the occupy movement, and with the environmental movement .
Shapiro critiqued the idea of factory farming as a good way to make 'low cost' meat, eggs, and dairy available to consumers. He also discussed why animal rights and animal welfare can be a divisive issue
