Kōrero with Geoff Regier, former undercover investigator for Mercy for Animals

Geoff’s work uncovered some of the worst examples of animal abuse in Canada’s dairy industry, and lead to prison sentences for the workers and fines for their employers. Some observers at the time described the footage as the most severe cases of animal abuse they’d ever seen. 

I was interested in talking to Geoff to hear his story about what he had to go through to conduct his investigations. He’s gained some interesting insight into what it’s like for workers in these industries and shared with me his thoughts on the fallout that resulted from those investigations.
