If you're reading this, we're probably preaching to the choir. But really, you do have to be so careful to read beyond the headline! South Lakes Zoo may have closed, but the animals who were subject to horrific treatment, seem to be no better off, as this week we learn how they will be rehomed. In this episode, Julie, Kate & Anthony look at this, plus another eight stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last couple of weeks.
