KALW San Francisco: Do slaughterhouse videos influence you?

Rose Aguilar, host of Your Call on San Francisco's NPR station KALW, had Nathan Runkle, executive director of Mercy For Animals, on her show along with Grist's Tom Laskawy.

"Do slaughterhouse videos change your opinion of how animals should be treated? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about undercover investigations into how animals are slaughtered for food. Have you been influenced by amateur videos and how? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. There have been efforts in many states to make these videos illegal. What do these videos reveal about how we treat animals? And should they be legislated? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you."
