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.
