Milo Runkle: Expanding Our Sphere of Concern

Dec 5, 2019-- After witnessing the brutal handling of a live piglet brought into school for dissection, Milo Runkle discovered that the current legal system offered no recourse for him to press charges on behalf of the animal.

Runkle is also the founder of the Good Food Institute, a writer, meditator, and an advocate outside of farm animals for LGBT rights and for the rights of nature.
