Animal Cruelty Index: which country ranks the worst? | Atlas & Boots
The journalist and podcaster Ezra Klein once described going vegan as like waking up from the Matrix. Once you are attuned to animal cruelty, you see it everywhere and cannot fathom how humans not just tolerate but endorse factory farming. Historian Yuval Noah Harari has called it one of the worst crimes in history while others have likened it to slavery. Much of this is seen as joyless pontificating – and some of it is – but none of us can deny that animal cruelty goes hand in hand with factory farming.

Our resident mountain aficionado and would-be seven summiteer crunches the numbers on how much it will cost to climb the seven summits How much does it cost to climb the seven summits?
