107- Kill the whales...or we'll all suffer even more?
10/17/24 • 45 min
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==

106- Turns out you CAN call it a sausage if it's vegan!
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.

108- Wales to consider ban on all fur imports
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.
