Is the key to reaching more people with a vegan message to stop talking about the horrors that we want to end and start talking more about what we want to create? That’s what Matthew Halteman is aiming for with his new book Hungry, Beautiful Animals, and he joins us this week to discuss details of the book and his theory of change.
Matthew C. Halteman is professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK. He is the author of the just-released Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, as well as Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation, and the co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments About the Ethics of Eating. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Turning a goat dairy farm into a goat sanctuary isn’t something that happens every day. But that’s exactly what just happened in Bloomington, Indiana, and Nicole Schonemann is here to share the whole beautiful story.
Nicole Schonemann is one of the four original founders of the Goat Conspiracy, a former goat dairy farm in Bloomington, Indiana, that is now a goat sanctuary. She began this journey with a very naive understanding of dairy, and, as a result, she learned that dairy, even when done as well as possible, leaves sustainability and animal welfare gaps that are impossible to close. She and her partner thus began their own journey towards veganism, away from dairy farming, and helped to start the Goat Conspiracy Sanctuary. In the fall of 2023, they started Planted Bloomington (a plant-based food truck and catering biz) and are now immersed in their current project of converting the former creamery into a vegan commercial kitchen.

Interested in keeping chicken poop out of your garden? If we want to overhaul the food system, we are going to have to start from the ground up, literally. This week, Meg Kelly of the Veganic Summit joins us to share her tips and tricks for converting your garden, or your farm, to a veganic wonderland.
An avid gardener, Meg Kelly has been growing food veganically for 15 years in backyards, on balconies, and in the countryside and is an outspoken advocate for veganic growing. In 2008, she co-founded the Veganic Agriculture Network to promote organic food production that uses fully plant-based fertilizers without any animal byproducts. She also teaches the Learn Veganic online gardening course to empower people to grow their own fruits and vegetables at home using sustainable vegan techniques. Meg is organizing the upcoming Veganic Summit, a free 3-day online event about veganic gardening and farming happening from November 8th-10th, 2024.

We are joined this week by Tom Harris to discuss his new book, Your Neighbour Kills Puppies: Inside the Animal Liberation Movement, which tells the story of the legendary SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) campaign, which not only forever changed how the animal rights movement was viewed by the powers that be but also ended up with Tom, along with many others on both sides of the Atlantic, serving years in prison.
Described as ‘a firebrand’ by the Daily Mail and ‘highly successful’ by Hampshire Police, Tom Harris (author of Your Neighbour Kills Puppies) has twenty years of experience in the animal liberation movement. He has launched and coordinated numerous pressure campaigns, successfully closing puppy farms, shuttering chicken units, and ending military diving experiments on goats. He was a prominent organizer of the infamous SHAC campaign, for which he was set up by the state and spent several years in prison.

Without slaughterhouses, animal agriculture is over. So let’s do it! This week, we are joined by Shannon Blair and Malaina Watts, who both worked tirelessly to block the creation of two new slaughterhouses in Florida and helped put an end to an illegal slaughter operation as well.
Shannon Blair’s journey toward animal liberation began at age nine after she saw footage of animals suffering for food and became an activist on the spot. After years as a vegetarian, she went vegan on the same day as her son, VeganEvan, and since 2017, Shannon and her family have been on a mission to advocate, educate, and activate, traveling across the country to support animal rights. She is a Certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach & Educator, President of Solutionary Species, co-founder of Animal Activism Mentorship, a co-organizer for Plant Based Treaty Florida, and the Plant Based Community Coordinator for Solid Rock Community School.
Malaina Watts has been dedicated to creating a more compassionate and sustainable world since 2016. A committed vegan, Malaina has also journeyed across the country, immersing herself in activism that bridges the gap between grassroots movements and large-scale institutional change, including pressure campaigns, protests, food giveaways, council meetings, workshops, livestreams, marches, vigils, disruptions, educational events, and more. As a Mentor with Animal Activism Mentorship, Malaina has nurtured the next generation of activists, and she is also the U.S. Liaison and Campaigner with the Plant Based Treaty, advocating for policies prioritizing sustainability, animal rights, and environmental stewardship.
