Transition Exeter

The Phoenix is delighted to be able to welcome the muddy booted Marchioness renown as a tireless campaigner for justice, freedom from cruelty and a sustainable environment for humans & animals alike. Tracy will introduce her film bringing us up to date on the campaign for sound farming practice and sustainable local communities.

Reveals the impact of factory farming

Abusing animals : 1.2 billion pigs worldwide slaughtered for meat yearly, more than half have been reared by intensely cruel methods giving rise to new and potentially deadly viruses that can infect human kind.

Destroying small farmers : Small independent farmers are relentlessly driven out of business by the economies of scale which large pig production systems can command.

Jeopardising lives by polluting the environment : It is not only animals which are harmed by factory pig farms. Intensive farming puts human health at risk not only by infectious diseases transmitted to human populations
