Ariel Nessel, an American philanthropist and entrepreneur, is a firm believer in the power of people to create a kinder world. He has supported Animal Equality's mission for years and has joined the organization on several investigations in Mexico and India to document the cruelty of animal agriculture and raise awareness of the suffering caused by factory farming and slaughterhouses.


Animal Equality's undercover investigations have shown the extent of the cruelty involved in the dog and cat meat trade, revealing the enormous suffering that these animals are forced to endure. They have also helped to raise awareness of this issue and have led to increased pressure on governments to take action to end this trade.


Undercover investigations play a vital role in exposing the cruelty that takes place in hatcheries. Hatcheries are facilities where millions of chickens are hatched every year, often in cramped and unsanitary conditions. These facilities are notorious for their cruel practices, such as the mass culling of male chicks, which are deemed useless by the egg industry because they cannot lay eggs.
