When talking about border walls, we hear a lot about immigrants and immigration policies. But what we never hear about are the animals.

Myles Traphagen coordinates Wildlands Network’s borderlands program, with a fo...

There is one thing that Big Ag absolutely does not want us to talk about. And that is slaughterhouses. So let's talk about them, in depth, for this entire episode. Let's talk about why they are hidden, the harm they cause, not just to animals, but also human societies and the environment. And, most importantly, let's talk about how to close them down, for good. To discuss this topic, I have with m...

Overcoming depression or an addiction, overcoming PTSD, stimulating creativity, and more to the point of this podcast, gaining a sense of connection with nature, a higher level of empathy towards others (including animals) and even a willingness to become vegan are all transformations that can be triggered by a psychedelic experience. Then, maybe psychedelics are the powerful ally that the vegan m...

Martin is vegan, just like you and me. One day, he thought "I want to do more for the animals" And so he picked up his guitar and started making clever, witty, funny and enjoyable songs about veganism and the animal rights cause under the stage name of "Vystopia". He streams his music online, and all the profits he gets from them go to animal rights organizations, sanctuaries and shelters. Join Vy...

Animal rights organizations tend to be hyperactive on social media and this is nothing to say of the army of vegan influencers out there. Yet, is it the right way to go? Can't we be just a little bit critical of this proximity with social media, and self-reflect on what it means for veganism on the long-term? To discuss this topic, I have with me someone who is not afraid of playing with daring id...

In French, work or job translates to travail and travail stems from the word tripalium, which was a medieval torture instrument consisting of three sticks to which you were tied in order to receive a beating. Needless to say for many cultures, working meant suffering. But nowadays, things are different. There is a variety of jobs out there with different levels of pleasantness. Still, it is rare t...

There are maybe hundreds if not thousands of vegan outreach initiatives out there. But among them, there are relatively very few seeking to open dialogue with religious leaders. Yet, strategically, I believe it is more valuable to share the vegan message of compassion with religious leaders than school children, college kids or random people in the streets, since those religious leaders will influ...

Back in 2003, the highest grossing movie was Finding Nemo, and that year Finding Nemo was competing with Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix Reloaded and the third Lord of the Rings movie. And it is understandable: the Pixar animation work is genius. The characters are funny and touching at times. The storyline is thoughtful and speaks to a wide audience. But what really compels me about the stor...

About 7 years ago, one of my all time favorite ASMR artists, WhispersRed, also known as Emma, posted a video called "ASMR Dog Spa and Massage". And then 4 years ago, a video called "ASMR Veterinary Checkup". And in both of these videos, she's caring for a dog in a fantasy place called Whispaws. So imagine my confusion and surprise when in 2021 she announced that Whispaws was now a real place, a sa...

Terrorism, violent, criminal, extremist, radical, illegal. Those are the kinds of words attached to the Animal Liberation Front, a global anarchist movement fighting for animal liberation. If you listen to media outlets or governmental institutions like the FBI, the message is clear: Animal Liberation Front activists are scary, keep your distance from that dangerous crowd! In order to counteract t...

To begin 2024 on a good note, I wanted to share a short conversation I had on the topic of Micro Sanctuaries. Have you ever heard of the concept of a micro sanctuary? It's a relatively recent trend. Basically the idea behind it is that you don't need lots of resources or space to provide sanctuary to animals who would have otherwise been mercilessly used as commodities. It's a powerful concept and...

This is how PETA denounces the horrendous exploitation of minks for making fur coats and accessories like lashes. "In Australia and other countries, mink lashes have become popular. Their mink fur, that's been shaved off a mink's body, that are then glued in strains to a human's eyelashes for a fuller and thicker look. Mink lashes are often sold as 100% cruelty-free or safely collected from a free...
