When was the last time you heard a news story about hunting or the Hunt Saboteur movement? In all likelihood, even if your social media algorithm is set to 'maximum vegan overdrive', you may only rarely hear about this important & long-standing piece of direct action & animal advocacy.

In this episode, we speak to three hunt 'sabs', past & present, to learn more about the movement & its current challenges.

"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?"

Well, yes and no...

Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic

In this episode Julie, Kate & Ant give their reactions to Pignorant, a documentary produced by Joey Carbstrong that has recently been released onto  Amazon Prime for streaming. 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pignorant-Joey-Carbstrong/dp/B0CV8HQ3QV

The trailers for the film seemed very centred on the human 'stars' of the film rather than the pigs, but is this film an ego project, or in fact a real solid addition to the suite of animal rights documentaries?

Warning- this episode contains spoilers, and the film itself contains footage of animals that many viewers will find distressing

Whether it's the seats, fats within the steel, or the bugs mashed on the windshield, car driving and ownership can pose multiple dilemmas for vegans. 

In this episode Ant is joined by EOTF's resident car expert, Paul; together they discuss the animal products typically found in cars, brands who are trying to avoid them, and whether we should even be getting behind the wheel in the first place.

In this episode of Vegan Week, Ant & Paul discuss the latest protest that took place outside Jeremy Clarkson's brewery, after it was revealed that he allowed the Heythrop Hunt to use his land. Can we change his mind? Are we just giving him more column inches? And would anyone care about this if it weren't to involve a 'celebrity'? We also discuss...

*Flora brand dairy a "bit weird"...

*A "tough year" for one Irish dairy company, who only make £12.5 million profit...

*A £26 fine for a raft of animal abuse offences; meet the UK legal system for animal farmers...

And much more!

Animal Rising have made the news by 'modifying' a prominent portrait of King Charles III and drawing people's attention to the horrors carried out under the RSPCA Assured scheme...but will anyone actually remember the message behind the action...or will Wallace & Gromit simply get a bit more publicity from the stunt?!

Julie, Carlos & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

What do you do when a vegan in your life does something that...well...just isn't really that vegan? Does it depend on how 'serious' the 'transgression' is? And by even thinking in this way, are we falling into 'vegan policing'? Or just keeping it real for the animals? In this episode Mark, Julie & Ant talk about specific times in their lives when they've weighed up whether to say something or not, as well as hypothetical situations & general tips & things to avoid.

Belgium says enough is enough; plant based labels are NOT confusing...

Nigeria in bold effort to curb ivory trade...

First we found out their scones had been secretly vegan for years; now it seems they're ready for their cafes to have a menu that is 50% plant-based. Is The National Trust a vegan sleeper cell? Or should we be sceptical of an organisation that lets the Hunt on its land, and is deeply invested in animal agriculture? Paul & Ant discuss this, as well as eight other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news covered in today's show...

If animals are in a state of emergency, should we be at all concerned by who advocates for them? Shouldn't it be the case that any voices will do? In this episode, Julie, Dominic & Anthony discuss whether there is a right, or indeed, wrong kind of person to speak up on behalf of animals.

PETA have been very busy this week...but would it sometimes be better to keep quiet?

But oh the irony, as Ant, Dominic & Kate spend a whole hour 'falafeling' on in this episode, looking at whether Lancaster University is going plant-based or not, the beginnings of a U-turn from Adidas regarding its use of kangaroo leather, as well as hearing the latest from the EU elections regarding different political party's stances on plant-based policies. 

As ever, we're also briefly covering half a dozen or so further stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news, giving the facts, our opinions & the occasional bit of silliness.

In our fifth episode, we speak to Kate, who tells us about how a wholefoods plant-based diet has seen her beat a chronic & debiliating health condition, to end up running marathons in a matter of years! A truly inspiring story by a good friend of the show...

(Note that dropping & eliminating medication, as mentioned by Kate, should only be considered following consultation with an appropriately trained medical professional)

In a break from our usual weekly show, the Enough of the Falafel collective brings you "The Big Vegan Quiz of the Year 2023", for 7 rounds of vegan-related quizzing!

Join Jhon, Chantelle, Ella, Paul & Anthony for our silliest show yet, with our biggeest technical hitch yet, and also a Christmas miracle!

Thank you for everyone bearing with the re-formatting of the show halfway though, the cheezy background music & the ever-changing sound levels- this one was a chewy one to edit!

For lovers of our weekly news show, check your feed around the 30th December 2023, when we'll be releasing a special 'Vegan Fortnight' show, looking at the vegan/animal rights news from the last two weeks of the year, to make up for anything we missed this week.

Also, tune in on New Year's Eve, when there'll be another seasonal special that's (slightly) less silly!

Can spoken word poetry, music, art or even video games be used creatively to advocate on behalf of animals? What approaches work best for using art in vegan activism? And what's a broad fourth wall anyway?!

Dominic & Anthony take a deep dive into art and its use in the animal rights movement.

Rishi Sunak has 'scrapped' the Meat Tax proposal in the UK, but would a tax on meat actually improve outcomes for animals? As well as looking at this week's vegan news, we discuss the Prime Minister's 'straw man' in more detail.

Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights. But there's one problem: We've had enough of all the "falafel" out there!

Each week we look through ten of the top news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights. Afterwards we slow things down & home in on one topic in particular and pick it apart in more detail.

If you can't cope with the adopted animal living in your home, is it ok to just...give it back? Lily Allen has been making the news this week, as PETA urge her not to try animal adoption again, following her last foray into animal adoption ending abruptly. And is this kind of celeb gossip worth discussing at all? Or is it a case of always taking every opportunity to advocate for animals? Carlos, Julie & Ant discuss this, as well as twelve other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news covered in today's show...

VIVA! have said that they intend to be more provocative with their animal rights campaigns, whilst PETA had an ad banned this week in the UK. Are we entering a new era of 'in-your-face' animal advocacy?

Julie & Anthony look at this, as well as a dozen or so vegan & animal rights news stories from the last week including...

Proposed Norfolk Mega-farm protests ramp up...

Vegan cheese goes up a notch...

And a Danish Kindergarten refuses to allow a child to even bring in their own vegan food!

Plus lots more...

Join us in the Going Vegan series for a dozen conversations with people about their vegan journeys: The first signs that veganism might be an option for individuals, making the switch, the challenges, the surprises...and everything in between!

In our eigth episode, we speak to Carlos, who tells us about how a new year's resolution started the wheels turning onto something that now is a central core of a way of life. A fabulous conversation with a really well-spoken guest.

If you enjoy listening to Carlos, check out his own podcast 'The Vegan Voidcast' here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZXz5AnbSU8

In this episode of Vegan Week, Luke, Carlos & Ant discuss a hideous day in Exmoor last weekend where- despite the brave efforts of Hunt Saboteurs- a stag was hunted to exhaustion & then killed. We discuss the realities of stag hunting, hopes of how footage taken from the weekend can ultimately have positive outcomes & ways listeners can help to save animals' lives through anti-hunting efforts.

We also discuss...

*University student threatened with expulsion for bad-mouthing veganism...

*Vegan weightlifter wins Croatian Championship...

*The "most comprehensive study yet" demonstrates that plant-based dogs can thrive...

And much more!

This week, The Vegan Society reported that NHS Prevent training (a programme designed to spot radicalisation of vulnerable individuals) has removed vegans as an example of those who may be liable to 'radicalise' others. Is this a step forward? Or do we quite like being radical?! Dominic, Julie & Ant discuss this, as well as 9 others stories from the week's animal rights & vegan space.

This month is of course Veganuary, but their latest media campaign is getting "weird", specifically focussing on some of the contradictions and oddities of animal exploitation. Carlos, Luke & Ant discuss the campaign, the artwork involved and how effective we think it may be.

Happy New Year! What news story made the biggest waves in the vegan movement over the last 12 months? Who has been your animal rights hero of 2024? And what has got you fuming more than Jeremy Clarkson at the news that his shooting habit now comes with the added bonus of inheritance tax?

In part two of this episode, Julie, Dominic & Ant weigh up the most annoying story of the last year, the biggest setback, their biggest vegan superheroes, the biggest win for animals, as well as making some predictions for 2025!

Does patronising the Glastonbury Festival end up bankrolling a dairy farm? Can vegans really justify this, for what is surely a frivolous non-essential part of life? Or is it the case that the event has so much potential to stimulate new vegans & other intersectional issues, that this should be overlooked? Dominic, Richard & Anthony explore where their individual 'line' is on this sort of issue.

As well as blocking us from accessing their website, US mega-chain Denny's have this week "called out" animal rights' advocates...for the fact that they want animal agriculture to come to an end. Whilst this might seem obvious to most listeners, is this in fact a new approach for animal ag apologists to take, and does it risk invalidating our argument as 'too extreme'?

Julie & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

A major UK Education provider has created a resources programme where veganism will be included as part of the 'religion and worldviews' section. But is this the same as veganism being taught? Or even discussed across all UK schools. Mark, Paul & Anthony discuss this, and a dozen other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Charlotte Dujardin has removed herself from the Team:GB Paris Olympic team, after a video filmed 4 years ago emerged of her repeatedly whipping a horse.

Free bullfighting tickets for under-8s, the pork industry saying it doesn't want any more transparency and a lot of people in France getting upset about a small business making croissants without animal products. No wonder the passions were running high in this week's news show!

As ever, we're covering ten or so stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news, giving the facts, our opinions & the occasional bit of silliness.

* CONTENT ADVISORY * 

We think we've removed all the 'swears' from the final edit of this episode, but if strong language isn't your thing & would prevent you enjoying the show, this nontheless might not be the episode for you.

It's easy to get swept along by the dominant media's narrative. But is there any truth to the headlines that veganism is in decline? In a Vegan Week special, Kate, Julie & Ant look at this one theme that has been part of the news cycle for the last 6-12 months & examine how accurate the claims are.

And for those of you keen to hear this week's news, tune in again same time next week when Carlos & Ant will be looking at the last fortnight's news stories; don't worry, you won't miss a thing!

Why is it illegal to sell dog fur or seal skin in Wales, but not coyote hide, for example? Well, this week, this inconsistency is being challenged in a potential bill that will outlaw the import or sale of all animal fur. Carlos, Kate & Ant also look at eight other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Recently the Vegan Society have come out with a strong statement, declaring that "cultured meat is not vegan, nor will it ever be". Is this absolute statement necessary to protect the integrity of the animal rights message, or could a bit more pragmatism be applied here? Julie & Ant discuss this, referencing the following two articles:

Blimey, that was a bit of week wasn't it?! In this episode, Julie, Dominic & Anthony examine a blustering week full of some of the most controversial and divisive stories we've seen since we started Enough of the Falafel: Angry shoppers yelling at Animal Rising demonstrators, dead piglets being dropped on doorsteps, elephants being denied legal personhood, and Julie getting suspicious that Dale Vince is making a bold claim that isn't his to make!  In total we look at nine stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

The UK Home Office are reviewing legislation around the awful 'Forced Swim Test' and PETA's latest campaign attempts to end the practice forever. See how you can easily get involved to lend your support for the ban at https://www.peta.org.uk/blog/scientists-forced-swim-test/?fbclid=IwAR3LFgNbQEsFByedP3l1tNqGcJOF1yrG5JsP2VNr3Q5UNlx18HtjvIrx-ns

Julie & Anthony look at this, as well as a dozen or so vegan & animal rights news stories from the last week including...

Morrisons vow to increase the space for their chickens...but is it enough?

Are there really over a million new vegans in the UK in the last 12 months?

Plus lots more!

This episode includes a shout out for Noo Beginnings Animal Sanctuary, ran by friend of the show, Ella, down in the South East of the UK. Their mission is to provide solace and care for victims of neglect, cruelty, and exploitation. They also work to inspire others to have compassion and respect towards animals previously seen as product or stock for profitable gain. All donations and contributions help them provide essential veterinary care, nutritious vegan meals, comfortable shelter, and enriching activities for their animal friends. If that’s something you are able to contribute then head to https://noobeginnings.co.uk/services/ Thank You

Harmless fun? What damage could a little flutter do? Aren't there restrictions on how whips are used? There's all sorts of rhetoric put out there to help us think that horses are absolutely delighted to gallop around racecourses with humans on their backs...but what are we not being told by those with a vested interest in prolonging this 'sport'?

The latest social media trend this week has been pouring away your milk. Why? It's a result of Dairy giant Arla's use of the controversial Bovear compound, which is said to reduce methane emissions in cattle by 30-45%. Is this a problem, regarding the green-washing oversight of animal rights issues (as well as ignoring the other 55-70% of emissions), or could this be part of a longer-term victory for animals? Julie & Anthony discuss this, as well as a handful of other news stories from the week in the vegan & animal rights space.

If we didn't put celebs up on these pedestals when they "go vegan", they couldn't come tumbling down when they're "not vegan anymore" is the argument. But is that pragmatic in the algorithm-informed and heavily suggestible world we live in today? In this episode, Kate, Carlos & Ant discuss whether we need to stop focussing so much on which 'celeb' is vegan, or if in fact using celebrity culture is a tool we can use to the animals' advantage...

Funny how a giant 70-year old turkey plant going bust doesn't generate the same headlines as when a few vegan products are discontinued?

Anyway, Bernard Matthews' iconic Norfolk turkey 'factory' is no more. But it's the vegan bubble that's burst. Right guys?!

Julie, Kate & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines. Tune in for tomorrow's episode (part 2 of the news!) to hear 4 stories covered in a whole lot more detail.

This is a beautiful conversation to start our series and has several wonderful surprises along the way.

Palworld is taking the videogame world by storm. But with gamers befriending creatures before exploiting and then (in most cases) killing & eating them, is it something that really raises some tricky issues for those of us who care about animal rights?

Or is it 'just' a video game?

Alex & Anthony take a deep dive into the blurry lines between video games & the extent to which they can inform the cultural zeitgeist and our reality.

You may also be thinking...

"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?"

Well, yes and no...

You know the discussion section that we normally have in the second half of the show, focussed on just one topic? Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic

Considering how straightforward the answer could be, this question comes up quite a lot. Shouldn't we be encouraging beekeeping, if bees are threatened? It doesn't hurt a bee to eat some of its honey, surely? In this episode Kate, Paul & Ant discuss their responses to this question, share reasons why you really don't want to be supporting any kind of beekeeping & discuss how to respond to those 'vegans' who make an exception for honey.

A spot-on parody can really cut through the Bulls*** and really make you think...but if we're asking the butt of the joke to then come around to our way of thinking, are we ever going to get where we want with this approach to activism?

Carlos & Ant look at the latest 'Seymour Loudermilk' "Hate Vegans" parody ads, as well as revisiting Elwood's Organic Dog Meat to examine the question of where the place of parody is in the vegan movement.

On our Vegan Week show over the last 12 months or so, we've reported several times about councils pledging to 'go plant-based' for their internal meetings and events. It's huge news that really packs a punch with its headline, nut what's behind this trend? In this episode Ant speaks to Julie, who is now actively involved with the Plant Based Councils campaign, and learns more about the campaign and how we can get involved.

It's been the evocative centre of selling animal flesh in the UK capital for around 850 years, but this week it was announced that come 2028, Smithfield Meat Market will close for good. But with individual businesses being compensated, and indeed supported to make things work in new locations, will this improve outcomes for animals? Richard & Anthony disucss this, as well as a handful of other news stories from the week in the vegan & animal rights space.

What are vegans supposed to do when friends (or work colleagues, family members or neighbours...) announce that they're "doing Veganuary". Do we need to rally around with support, unsolicited advice & emergency food drops of tofu blocks & bushels of kale? Or indeed, should we be preparing ourselves for hearing 'veganism' being experienced in a very different way to how we ourselves see it.

Julie & Anthony wrestle with today's topic and would be keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. Enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com is theplace to reach us.

You may also be thinking...

"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?" 

Well, yes and no...

You know the discussion section that we normally have in the second half of the show, focussed on just one topic? Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic

Is Chicken Run 'Dawn of the Nugget' a game changer for animal rights? Or are we all getting overexcited at the mere hint of animal advocacy in a mainstream film? Alex & Ant discuss the Netflix Christmas #1 Film and its animal advocacy potential.

Before that however, they look at 10 of the top vegan news stories from the last two weeks, including...

Are Denmark U-turning on their plant-based pledge already?

Some good news from Farming UK?

Nigel Farage or King Charles III; who has wound us up most this week?

A new thought piece was published last week by BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv223z15mpmo) discussing the latest in scientific research pointing to 'consciousness' in an increasing number of non-human species. So are animals conscious? And is that even an important question to be asking? Anthony, Julie & Carlos get philosophical with this one.

The things 'doctors' will say to sell a book, eh?! As well as this 'interesting' proclamation on Seattle Morning News, this week it's great news for... 

*Everyone who'd go vegan if there were just better imitation faux octopus tentacles to munch on...

*Anyone wanting to protest at the Grand National...

*Chicken farmers who 'haven't quite got around to' letting natural daylight into their barns yet.

Dominic, Carlos & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines before breaking down their 'picks of the week' in more detail.

The Australian media is giving a lot of airtime to the story of a live export ship, carrying over 15,000 animals. What are the key issues here & what can we do about the horrific practice of shipping thousands of animals across the ocean for days- or even months- at a time?

Alex & Anthony look at this, as well as a dozen or so vegan & animal rights news stories from the last week including...

The Lamb National; local carnival takes it off the billing after activists protest...before another 'ewe' turn...

Italian mountain bear killed for being "excessively confident"...

Veggie Pret close their doors for the last time...

Plus lots more!

Yes, contrary to our episode title in March of this year, the EU Court of Justice has now ruled that plant-based products can be called terms like sausage, burger or steak (so long as a list of ingredients is clearly printed somewhere). At least supermarket customers aren't as daft as various countries thought they were. Dominic, Mark & Ant discuss this and nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news.

A recent study has shown that including carbon-footprint data next to supermarket products makes people significantly more likely to choose plant-based equivalents of meat, cheese and milk. Will this happen in reality, and how could other existing e-commerce tools be used to benefit animals? In this episode, Julie, Mark & Anthony examine this, as well as nine other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Following the final meeting of the people behind the US dietary guidelines, could we be on the verge of plant-based proteins taking centre-stage in the advice that is given out from the US government over the next 5 years? Kate, Dominic & Anthony decide whether to get excited about this, as well as discussing half a dozen other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.
