What happens when your ethical principles get challenged in the harsh realities of defending your homeland? In this episode, Dīvs Reiznieks speaks with Tamara Human, who leads the Ukrainian vegan organization 'Every Animal'. They explore the challenges faced by vegan soldiers in Ukraine's military and shed light on the often-overlooked casualties of war - the countless farm animals caught in the crossfire. From grassroots efforts to provide plant-based meals for troops to advocacy for systemic change in military food systems, their conversation reveals how the fight for animal welfare continues even in times of war.
