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.
