Recently the Vegan Society have come out with a strong statement, declaring that "cultured meat is not vegan, nor will it ever be". Is this absolute statement necessary to protect the integrity of the animal rights message, or could a bit more pragmatism be applied here? Julie & Ant discuss this, referencing the following two articles:

Sometimes you just need a clear-cut win! It won't be completed until the end of 2026 but cracking news this week that Greyhound Racing will soon be ended in New Zealand. Can we expect backlash from the 1000+ jobs that will be lost, or spectators from the nearly 5,000 races that were staged last year? Carlos, Luke & Anthony discuss this, as well as eight other stories.

It's just a matter of weeks away! Veganuary has had a huge impact on the numbers of people becoming vegan, trying plant-based food, or simply being aware of veganism. But how can we help 'nudge' people towards trying it? In this episode Rich & Anthony talk about some of their successes...and things to avoid!

The latest social media trend this week has been pouring away your milk. Why? It's a result of Dairy giant Arla's use of the controversial Bovear compound, which is said to reduce methane emissions in cattle by 30-45%. Is this a problem, regarding the green-washing oversight of animal rights issues (as well as ignoring the other 55-70% of emissions), or could this be part of a longer-term victory for animals? Julie & Anthony discuss this, as well as a handful of other news stories from the week in the vegan & animal rights space.

It's been the evocative centre of selling animal flesh in the UK capital for around 850 years, but this week it was announced that come 2028, Smithfield Meat Market will close for good. But with individual businesses being compensated, and indeed supported to make things work in new locations, will this improve outcomes for animals? Richard & Anthony disucss this, as well as a handful of other news stories from the week in the vegan & animal rights space.

In this episode Ant speaks to Julie, who is now actively involved with the Plant Based Councils campaign, and learns more about the campaign and how we can get involved.

*** PLEASE NOTE: The opinions expressed in this episode are simply that: Opinions. No-one on today's show is giving anyone listening medical advice; we're just talking about our own experiences & opinions. We know you know that. But it makes us feel more comfortable to know we've said it. Anyway...
Whether to take medication that has been tested on animals, or even contains animal products, is a divisive issue among vegans. In this episode Dominic, Julie, Carlos & Ant give their perspectives on the issue, through their own vegan lenses.
As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts, questions & observations; drop us an email at [email protected] to share your views.

If we didn't put celebs up on these pedestals when they "go vegan", they couldn't come tumbling down when they're "not vegan anymore" is the argument. But is that pragmatic in the algorithm-informed and heavily suggestible world we live in today? In this episode, Kate, Carlos & Ant discuss whether we need to stop focussing so much on which 'celeb' is vegan, or if in fact using celebrity culture is a tool we can use to the animals' advantage...

Why is it illegal to sell dog fur or seal skin in Wales, but not coyote hide, for example? Well, this week, this inconsistency is being challenged in a potential bill that will outlaw the import or sale of all animal fur. Carlos, Kate & Ant also look at eight other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

A whole country being 'cancelled' by a Brighton music festival has raised one of our juiciest conversations yet, and have left Dominic, Mark & Anthony with questions like, "Should we all be eating whale meat?", "Do vegans always have to make the vegan argument above all else?" and "What does ethnocentric even mean?".
Our conversation centres on this post from punk band Joe & the Shitboys https://www.instagram.com/p/DAWF2qMsRwW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Yes, contrary to our episode title in March of this year, the EU Court of Justice has now ruled that plant-based products can be called terms like sausage, burger or steak (so long as a list of ingredients is clearly printed somewhere). At least supermarket customers aren't as daft as various countries thought they were. Dominic, Mark & Ant discuss this and nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news.
