The Bearded Vegans

This week Paul and Andy ponder whether non-vegan animal advocacy groups are allies to the vegan movement or if embracing them is counter-productive to animal liberation. Should vegans join vegetarian groups. Should vegan groups operate under the term "vegetarian" in order to create a larger umbrella for potential members to gather under? They do their best to find some answers.

This week, the bearded duo bring you a more somber conversation as they dissect the various ways vegans have reacted to the death of celebrity chef, author and tv personality Anthony Bourdain. They look at those who celebrate the man, those who celebrate his death and everything in between. Is he more complicit in animal exploitation than the average Jeff? Is telling someone not to celebrate his death speciesist? Is it best for vegans to just keep quiet in moments like these? Listen in as they wade through the murky waters on this one.

Plus, they discuss the news and follow up on the Evolve Our Prison Farms campaign.

This week Paul and Andy expand upon their conversation regarding knowing when to shut up and how to pick our battles by exploring if and/or when it is appropriate to criticize other activists. Should activists support other activists regardless of their tactics, or is it appropriate to address those we feel are not working in the best interest of the animals?

This week Paul and Andy continue their conversation regarding learning when to shut up and knowing when to pick your battles. Building off a question posed to them from a listener asking for guidance in how to have a conversation with a local farmer they then turn to other examples of times when it may be best to realize when one isn't the best person to have the conversation with specific individuals.
