The terrible wildfires raging across California at the moment are truly awful news, for human and non-human animals alike. One tiny kernel of positivity amidst the horror however is the actions of plant-based pop-up Vurger Guyz, who have provided over a thousand plant-based meals to some of those affected by the tragedy, as well as receiving support from actor Tabitha Borwn, and plant-based giants, Beyond Meat. As well as this story, Carlos & Anthony look at ten stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.
