Book of the Month is Out of Sight

Out of Sight is a riveting and deeply personal memoir by Gail A. Eisnitz, Chief Investigator for the Humane Farming Association, that offers both an unflinching exposé of the U.S. meat industry and a testament to human endurance.

Through decades of undercover investigations, Eisnitz lays bare the hidden cruelties of factory farms and slaughterhouses, revealing not only the abuse animals endure but also the systemic failures that allow it to persist. Her work sparked major national reforms—including the first-ever funding for enforcement of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act—and her commitment to justice is evident on every page.

But Out of Sight is more than an investigation—it’s also a story of resilience. Eisnitz’s journey is interwoven with the challenges of a mysterious and debilitating neurological disorder, high-level industry cover-ups, threats of violence, and legal retaliation. Despite it all, her compassion and dedication to animals never waver.

This is a powerful and inspiring read for anyone who cares about animal welfare, investigative journalism, or the fight for justice. Gail Eisnitz shows us what it means to keep going—when the truth is hard to bear and the cost of exposing it is high.

A must-read for advocates, truth-seekers, and anyone who believes a kinder world is possible.
