Animal rights and human rights are very much intertwined issues. Slaughter and meat processing workers end up with PTSD, PITS, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, higher likelihood to be violent including abusing their spouses, they are disproportionately people of color and immigrants especially undocumented immigrants, AND they are 3 times more likely to have serious injury than the average worker. That and SO MUCH MORE in this episode that I did a TON of research for. The hard truth is that if you aren't vegan, you're paying for slaughter workers to be exploited in unimaginable ways.

Visiting a slaughterhouse is not for little bitches!!! It takes some real guts to be able to actually physically go to a slaughterhouse and see animals before their deaths- face to face. In this episode I have 2 guests, my mom @veganzanne and my boyfriend @keegandervegan and we talk about why the hell vegans of all people visit slaughterhouses. Resources mentioned: the Cavelight Films mini documentary about Newark Animal Save vigils: https://youtu.be/5DbteeePlPc Get involved with vigils: thesavemovment.org please excuse the occasional pauses, I'm new at podcasting!

Have you seen this?? Those crazy animal rights people have been going inside grocery stores yelling into megaphones at people trying to shop for meat and animal products!! What's that all about?

Today I give a hunting podcast episode about veganism, a listen. I analyze the episode and the arguments a Hunter makes on his podcast titled The Hunting Collective. This will be an interesting one for sure.

This is my first episode so hello!!!! I'm a crazy vegan animal rights activist. I do unapologetic activism whether that's having blunt non-sugar coated debates with people, holding signs, helping sanctuaries, visiting slaughterhouses, or disrupting grocery stores, I want to do it all. And I want you to join me. In this episode I talk about how I became an activist, go over some of what I currently do, and then go through some of the basic facts about animal agriculture that I wish I knew before I was vegan.
