Rescuing animals from factory farms and laboratories, openly, and inviting prosecution for such alleged ‘crimes’, is an effective tactic that has widespread support in the U.S.A. and in the U.K. We talk to Wayne Hsiung, a former law professor, who was instrumental in founding Direct Action Everywhere in the U.S., about the principle of direct action, how social change is achieved, and strategy for the future. He also co-founded The Simple Heart newsletter, which can be found at simpleheart@substack.com
