Journalist Gail Eisnitz’s new book, Out of Sight, An Undercover Investigator’s Fight for Animals Rights and Her Own Survival, is being released today. She hopes it will be an educational tool to for consumers to change habits and lives for the better, and so do we!

In her efforts to change hearts and minds, you will find all the courage and tenacity of her previous book, Slaughterhouse. Eisnitz is a riveting, best-informed writer about the meat industry. Slaughterhouse is mandatory reading at Friends of Animals. This new book delivers the most compelling reasons to be vegan. Readers will walk away understanding that the enormous cruelty inside the meat industry can’t be mitigated. We simply must stop seeing animals as our food.

Eisnitz recently told Psychology Today: “People have a right to know what goes on behind the guard shacks and locked gates of America’s meat packers and factory farms, that which is ‘out of sight.’ Many of the abuses I’ve documented—i.e., mother hogs immobilized for years in cages so small they can never turn around; chickens suffocated by the millions by farmers attempting to control disease spread; runt piglets killed by having their heads smashed on concrete floors—would never be tolerated if they were perpetrated against companion animals like dogs and cats. Yet, by conveniently exempting ‘standard agricultural practices’ from state laws, the livestock industry excuses this brutal behavior and hides it from public consciousness. In Out of Sight, I use six actual animal abuse cases which build upon each other to demonstrate what happens every day in slaughterhouses and factory farms.^”

Eisnitz also pointed out that by melding her investigative findings with her personal experiences, she takes readers on a surprising journey of self-discovery. “It’s one in which I move from abject helplessness—much like the animals I investigate—to empowerment.”
