Vegan Week

Kate, Carlos & Ant look at nine stories from around the world that relate to veganism & animal rights, including wins- such as a ban on Greyhound Racing in Wales- setbacks- such as a deeply biased 'health' story from the i paper, and campaigns- such as the one from India, where activists are trying to end the horrendous practice of using live bait to catch big cats. **************** Enough...

According to Jordan Cooper, "if you’re vegan but never try to convert others, you probably exhibit...high EQ qualities". And whether Jordan is an AI-bot or not, the article that appears under their name in Veg Out Magazine https://vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/gen-if-youre-vegan-but-never-try-to-convert-others-you-probably-exhibit-these-high-eq-qualities/ raises some interesting questions around 'conver...

Three of this week's nine stories from the vegan & animal rights 'space' feature humans across the globe using bows & arrows, guns & traps to help look after the environment. What a wonderful upsurge of community spirit by these lovely people, who are not at all fuelled by a bloodlust or any other sinister motives. Sigh. If only... Mark, Kate & Ant are here this week to evaluate th...

In our third visit to East Lothian, this episodes features an in-depth interview with Julie about the four sheep in her life, talking about what it takes to look after sheep in a companionship setup (rather than an exploitative one), as well as discussing some of the misconceptions and myths that surround these wonderful peaceful creatures. For the first two episodes in this series, head back to e...

Seems that German car manufacturers want to keep up with the Joneses (Jean-ses?); a couple of months after Renault's leather-free-interior pledge, Mercedes have obtained Vegan Society certification for their GLC model (when you choose the 'Vegan Package', and why wouldn't you?!)

A topic that is almost impossible to decide in any quantifiable way...but that's not stopped Andrea Polanco having a go.

Responding to the studies in this episode are Mark, Kate & Ant. As  ever, we...
