Craig Watts went into chicken farming as a contract farmer for one of the biggest chicken companies in the country, Perdue Farms, in order to support his family. But after 22 years of raising chickens for one of the largest chicken companies in the US, Craig was at his breaking point and did something no one has done before. He invited a farm animal welfare organization, Compassion in World Farming, onto his farm to help tell his story. The public was shocked by the conditions of a standard chicken farm. Afterwards, Perdue became the first major chicken company to publish a detailed animal welfare policy, pledging to share transparent metrics to be held accountable for animal welfare.

Craig is now partnering with the Socially Responsible Agricultural Project (SRAP) to educate other farmers about the risks of getting involved with the industrial animal agriculture system.

Rick Dove is one of the founding members of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a non-profit focused solely on preserving and protecting clean water sources from polluters to create drinkable, fishable, and swimmable water everywhere. Rick's advocacy related to factory farming began in North Carolina during the spring of 1993. He drew public attention to serious pollution problems related to factory farming when he documented swine waste being discharged into local waterways, which resulted in the destruction of underwater life and ecosystems. Swine pollution and its environmental consequences are at the height of major public concern due to Rick’s work protecting North Carolina waterways.
