The Impact of Our Investigative Work

1 min read

  • Promoting the global investigative community
  • Played a significant role in Israel’s “vegan wave” of the 2010s
  • The investigations and their outcomes were published in Israel and internationally, triggering nationwide public debate with hundreds of media follow-ups
  • Outcomes include legal action, legislative changes, and the formation of a special government committee. Criminal convictions followed, setting new legal precedents, including the first ever conviction for farm animal abuse and successful class-action lawsuit settlements yielding more than $2 million USD for animal protection organizations. They also contributed to a decline in meat purchases from major food brands
  • The investigations supported a campaign (I initiated and managed), that successfully stopped a governmental reform aimed at increasing chicken slaughter in Israel by 10%
  • Creation of a “landscape of fear”, making abusers afraid of being caught, tried, and deprived of their killinghood.
