Nathan Runkle is an American animal rights advocate. At the ripe old age of fifteen he founded Mercy For Animals.

Reared on a farm in rural Ohio, Nathan has a deep connection with farmed animals. His advocacy and his organization is responsible for sparing 22 million animals from cages and mutilation, thanks to corporate policy victories. His organization is also responsible for freeing 31 million animals from cages annually, thanks to new laws promoted by Mercy For Animals.

Nathan believes that a world in which all animals are treated with kindness and compassion is coming into view.

Today, we listen to this man’s inspiring story and get his opinion on everything from lab-grown meat to how we can all help animals from inhumane treatment.

Nathan just released a new book called “Mercy For Animals: One Man’s Quest To Inspire Compassion and Improve the Lives of Farm Animals.”

You can purchase Nathan's book here on Amazon.
