Hey Pickles!

We hope you're doing ok and taking impeccable care of yourself. 

This week's episode is jam packed, so grab your favorite beverage, find a comfy spot and have a listen!

In our Main Topic, we're talking about why vegans don't support zoos, and why everyone should reconsider a trip to any zoo. We'll go over a pros & cons list about zoos, tell you which US zoos are failing animals miserably, and give you some idea about what's going in inside your local zoo.

Our Noteworthy segment takes a look at US border control gone wild. Recently a vegan artist was arrested and detained by ICE as she was crossing back into the US. We'll share other similar stories that are playing out at US borders. Is traveling in & out of the US becoming too risky? Many countries are issuing travel warnings to their citizens planning on traveling to the US.

We have an honest to goodness Vegan Restaurant SOS this week, as NYC vegan restaurant, Red Bamboo has asked for the public's help. They're in financial trouble after serving up vegan food in The Big Apple for over 30 years. If you would like to support them, but can't get there to order a meal, here is a link to their recent Go Fund Me  https://www.gofundme.com/f/red-bamboo-needs-you-help-us-save-our-vegan-spot

We also have a new Listener Shout Out, and a heavy dose of our usual shenanigans.

Thanks so much for listening!

Love, Sam & Christine
