We uncover what actually happens inside slaughterhouses the reality that is rarely shown or discussed. The conversation challenges common arguments like “jobs will be lost” and explains why this is not a valid moral justification for harm. We also break down widespread myths around protein and B12, questioning whether we’ve been misled about nutrition.We explore why many influencers avoid debates on veganism, and whether it stems from lack of evidence or fear of being exposed. The discussion goes further into culture versus ethics — asking whether tradition should ever justify violence against vulnerable beings. At its core, this episode highlights that the real issue is not a lack of intelligence, but a lack of critical thinking and moral reflection.It also confronts uncomfortable truths about human nature, selfishness, and the ways we justify our choices.

We live in a world where animals scream and we scroll.

Where kindness feels "feminine".

And happiness? A marketing campaign.

In this episode, Robin Singh — the man behind Peepal Farm, India’s most honest animal rescue and vegan farm — talks about:

🐄 Why empathy is dying (and why we let it)

🌱 What real happiness looks like beyond consumerism

🔥 How kindness can be rebellion in a cruel world

💭 The spiritual emptiness behind “doing good” for social media

❤️ And why saving animals might just be saving ourselves.

Robin Singh is the founder of Peepal Farm, a rescue and recovery centre for injured and abandoned animals in Himachal Pradesh that doubles as a hub for conscious living and social impact. Before dedicating his life to compassion work, Robin was a successful tech entrepreneur — he founded E-junkie, a platform that helped creators sell digital goods easily. After years in the tech world, he sold his business and began searching for more meaningful work, eventually realising that his purpose lay in reducing suffering — for both humans and animals.In 2014, Robin and his partner Shivani Singh built Peepal Farm from the ground up in Dhanotu village near Dharamshala. The farm is run on a simple philosophy: “Do less harm, do more good, and influence others to do the same.” It’s not just an animal rescue centre — it’s a social experiment in sustainable living. Every structure is built with mud and salvaged materials, the team grows their own food, and everything, from the food they cook to the products they sell, is vegan and cruelty-free. The farm sustains itself through community stays, donations, and the sale of homemade goods, all while creating employment for local villagers.Today, Peepal Farm has become a symbol of compassionate entrepreneurship in India. Robin’s straightforward honesty, tech-sharp problem-solving mindset, and raw storytelling have inspired millions online to rethink their relationship with animals and consumption. His journey — from software founder to animal rescuer — is less about escape and more about alignment: building a life that reflects his values. As Robin often says, “The goal isn’t to save the world — it’s to make sure the world is a little less cruel because you existed.”#RobinSingh #PeepalFarm #Happiness #Podcast #VeganPodcast #AmyAela #KindnesswithAmy
