This week a VIVA! advert highlighting practices in the dairy industry was banned on the grounds that it could be triggering for families who have lost their children...which raises the question as to whether the dairy industry itself should be banned for similar reasons! In this week's episode, Mark, Kate & Ant discuss this and another ten or so stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last fortnight.
