Is it because they're cute? Are Italians more forgiving? Or is it simply that the deer aren't a threat to animal ag? Either way, another mixed bag of news this week, with some animals' outcomes improving, whilst others are not so lucky. Julie, Mark & Ant sit down to report on, comment & dissect eight stories from the last week or so- all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.

In a bonus Going Vegan show, Paul & Ant chat to Emaline about her vegan journey, which started in Australia and has since seen her tour around the world as a fabulous musician!
To see Emaline live, vist her website https://emalinedelapaix.com/index.html where you can also support her work and get hold of your own copies of her music. There are plenty of chances to see her perform this summer, both in Germany & in the UK...and sometimes these opportunities are at Vegan Festivals; what's not to love?!
If you enjoy this episode, check your feed for the many other Going Vegan episodes that have been dropping throughout the last couple of years.
If you'd like to hear more of what we do, set up all your notifications, as we release two other weekly shows: Vegan Week- where we discuss the week's vegan/animal rights news- and Vegan Talk- where we go deeper into one subject in particular that is relevant to the vegan movement.

A bittersweet combination of news this week, as Cottesmore hunt 'stewards' (aka hired thugs) are convicted, whilst guest Chantelle shares her fruitless attempts to bring justice against a repeat offender that assaulted her whilst sabbing a few months ago. Mark and Ant join Chantelle to review & comment on eight stories from the last week or so- all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.

It's nothing to do with your body hair shaving routine...No Mow May is in fact an initiative looking to promote wildflower growth...which it turns out may just be more effective than you think, in terms of helping out animals too. In this episode, Ant & Julie dip their toe into a few different tweaks folk could make with a garden- or similar space- to help improve outcomes for animals.
For more on No Mow May, visit https://www.plantlife.org.uk/campaigns/nomowmay/
Vegan composts can be found at the following retailers (amongst others), but read the label carefully, as some of these companies do still sell animal-derived composts too:

See what happens when you let them darn carnists educate about animal agriculture?! This week Julie's pick for the week reports on the odious 'Lend a Lamb' scheme featured on BBC News, where schoolchildren learn about where their food comes from...apart from the quite essential final few steps. Julie & Ant examine this, as well as several more news stories from the last seven days or so- all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.

Turns out, all you need to do is smash up a vegan's megaphone in ASDA. Whilst that may have been the viral news of the week, we've found out a less-reported nugget of information that rather changes things....oh the anticipation! Mark, Paul & Ant looks at this and several more news stories from the last seven days or so, all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.

Have you ever seen folk holding up TV screens showing footage from animal agriculture on your local High Street? So-called "vegan outreach" gets a fair amount of coverage on social media & over the last ten years or so has been a regular fixture in many city centres. But what's the best way to go about it? And indeed, what is it trying to achieve? Carlos, Kate & Ant share their vegan outreach experiences, and try to work out if it's worth it.
In this episode, we make reference to the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5j9UJ4z-OY

The brilliant parody that is Kent Young Slaughterers group caused a stir last weekend, crashing the party at the Swan Young Farmers Club family fun day. But raising awareness of animal suffering seemingly needs to be halted if children are on the verge of tears. Riding solo for this episode, Ant looks at this and several more stories from the last seven days or so, all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.

Campaigns against organisations, industries- or even individuals- are an important part of any social justice movement. But how do we know when we should bring a campaign to an end- or a pause- and how do we go about it? In this episode Mark, Dominic & Ant look at Animal Rising's campaign against the RSPCA Assured scheme as a starting point, before discussing more widely the question of, "when should we let this drop?"
For context, the RSPCA Assured scheme is detailed here: https://www.rspcaassured.org.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcm7xdfZjAMV54qDBx3GGClxEAAYASAAEgJYOvD_BwE

How do you feel about your new vegan pal, Cynthia, who is into fast fashion, is a Coca Cola shareholder and drives around a 4x4 on the weekends just for fun?
In this episode, Elena, Mark & Ant explore how compassion & ethics interplay with other areas of our lives, away from animal rights. Can you be vegan and not recycle? Does everything you own need to be second hand? And now we think about it, what about you other vegan work colleague, Jeff the Nazi?

This was the week that two PETA protestors received the beating of all beatings whilst protesting the selective breeding that is synonymous with Crifts Dog Show; one was repeatedly punched by security services; the other was thrown out of his wheelchair. Just the positive PR that dog breeding needed, right?!
As well as this story, Elena, Mark & Ant look at eight other news articles from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.
