82- Should vegans go to Glastonbury?

Vegan Week ·

2024/07/11

Does patronising the Glastonbury Festival end up bankrolling a dairy farm? Can vegans really justify this, for what is surely a frivolous non-essential part of life? Or is it the case that the event has so much potential to stimulate new vegans & other intersectional issues, that this should be overlooked?

80- Do we need to liberate humans to liberate animals?

Vegan Week ·

2024/07/04

Author Zane McNeill argues that the animal rights movement isn't doing enough to support the liberation of marginalised workers & is fact complicit with the continued oppression of vulnerable persons. So do we need to truly liberate humans in order to liberate animals? Would a single unified movement be more efective? Or are there differences between human & animal liberation that means they need different approaches? Anthony & Julie have their thoughts provoked by this one.Here's the

Vegan Week ·

2024/07/01

As well as blocking us from accessing their website, US mega-chain Denny's have this week "called out" animal rights' advocates...for the fact that they want animal agriculture to come to an end.

A new thought piece was published last week by BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv223z15mpmo) discussing the latest in scientific research pointing to 'consciousness' in an increasing number of non-human species.

Animal Rising have made the news by 'modifying' a prominent portrait of King Charles III and drawing people's attention to the horrors carried out under the RSPCA Assured scheme...but will anyone actually remember the message behind the action...or will Wallace & Gromit simply get a bit more publicity from the stunt?!Julie, Carlos & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.****************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people

Vegan Week ·

2024/06/20

When is it ok to 'play God' as a vegan? Is it ever?

Vegan Week ·

2024/06/13

In the build-up to the UK General Election, Labour have laid down a marker, announcing the proposed ban of foie gras imports- if they are to get elected on 4th July. Can we believe it?

After fifty years of campaigning, the UK's Live Export Ban has come into play this week, whilst Australia announce that sheep will cease to be allowed to be exported live from 2028.
