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...

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.

All the hope of a new Government in the UK...dashed before it's even begun, as incoming DEFRA secretary Steve Reed changes his mind on Badger Culls, potentially resulting in the lives of a further 30,000 more badgers being unnecessarily ended. Sigh. Still, there's hope, with impending legal action & a petition to sign from the Badgers Trust (https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/cull). Rich, Dominic & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

Author Zane McNeill argues that the animal rights movement isn't doing enough to support the liberation of marginalised workers & is fact complicit with the continued oppression of vulnerable persons. So do we need to truly liberate humans in order to liberate animals? Would a single unified movement be more efective? Or are there differences between human & animal liberation that means they need different approaches? Anthony & Julie have their thoughts provoked by this one.

Here's the article in question...

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 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.

Peter Egan, Andrew Knight, The Animal Justice Project & Animal Rising are united in one cause at the moment: To bring down the RSPCA Assured Scheme, where certain animal products are deemed as being 'produced' in a n acceptable way. Does the scheme protect animal welfare, or does it effectively advocate for animals being exploited?

Ant, Paul & Julie discuss just the one big news story this week, but go in deep- Is this the beginning of the end for RSPCA Assured? Or does society 'need' the idea of ethical meat for a bit longer, before abolition becomes a more acceptable concept for the masses?

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.

In the build-up to the UK General Election, Labour have laid down a marker, announcing the proposed ban of foie gras imports- if they are to get elected on 4th July. Can we believe it? Is it enough to convince us to vote Labour? And is it any different from the Conversative Party's reneged promise from a couple of years ago?

Carlos & Ant discuss this and several other of the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

The Vegan Land Movement (https://veganlandmovement.com/) outbids animal farmers at land auctions and allows the plots they acquire to re-wild and be free from exploitation. But can we buy our way to a vegan future? Julie, Luke & Ant learn a little about this disruptive project & discuss how far it could go.

The summer of 2024; remember the date! Cultivated meat is now available for retail...but only in Singapore...and only in one shop...and it's pretty expensive...and it's only 3% cultured meat! So is it a big deal? Ant, Luke & Julie discuss just the one big news story this week, but go in deep- Is this a momentous occasion? Or just another 'nearly' moment for the history of cultivated meat?

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.

After fifty years of campaigning, the UK's Live Export Ban has come into play this week, whilst Australia announce that sheep will cease to be allowed to be exported live from 2028. Is this really a good news story for animals? Or just a tokenistic morale booster for the animal rights movement?

Talking of tokenism, Ant, Julie & Karen cover King Charles' latest baby steps, a Marks & Spencer ban and lifesaving equipment for companion animals that now come as standard inside all West Yorkshire Fire Engines.

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

Paris 2024's Olympic Village tried to be eco-friendly...but when the athletes called for more meat & eggs, they crumbled. Should we be surprised? Should the Olympic committee be held to account for not delivering on their promises to reduce meat consumption at the games?

Most people assume that vegans love animals. But do we need- as vegans- to feel warm and fuzzy about bunnies, ogle over cute puppies & be enchanted by birdsong? Could misplaced 'love' even make speciesism more entrenched? Luke, Carlos & Ant dive into our 'love' for animals & how it can help- or hinder- the animal rights movement.

During this ep, we refer to Elwood's Organic Dog Meat. Here's the website: https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/ ;)

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!

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.

Some useful resources we referred to:

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!

Paul & Ant

With animals in a state of emergency, it's understandable to feel like animal rights & veganism should be the only cause we spend our time fighting for.

However, without approaching our advocacy in an intersectional way, could we be doing more harm than good in the long run?

In this episode Nazia, Dominic & Ant discuss intersectionality, why it matters & how we can best encourage others to consider more than 'just' veganism when rallying for social justice.

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

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.

Was this an earnest yet naive attempt to improve outcomes for animals, or a cathartic blowout that weaponised veganism?

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?

Julie, Kate & Ant

In this episode we spend 45 minutes listening to the vegan journey of 11-year old Logan, whos has been making compassionate choices since the age of 2 years old! 

We cover the subject of whether he is 'forced' to be vegan, what he finds hard, what he enjoys about being vegan, how he feels about animals, direct actions he's taken to improve outcomes for animals, and a whole lot more, including the most important question: Does being vegan give you superpowers?!

As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. Enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com is the place to reach us. And as Logan says at the end of the episode, if you would like to ask him a question directly, we can make it happen; Ant is lucky enough to spend time with Logan each week, so your questions can be delivered in person!

Many thanks to Logan's mum, Kam, for facilitating the recording for this episode.

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!

If you enjoy this Going Vegan episode, do whizz back to January 2024's episodes in your podcast feed, as there'll be 10 other episodes that all dropped throughout Veganuary 2024!

If you'd like to hear more of what we do, set up all your notifications, as we release two other weekly shows: Vegan Week, where we discuss the week's vegan/animal rights news; and Vegan Talk, where we go deeper into one subject in particular that is relevant to the vegan movement.

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.

They can take away our names, but they'll never take away our sosmix! 

France bans meaty names for veggie food- seemingly to appease its disgruntled farmers. Is this a hill worth dying on for vegan companies, or will this actually make a real difference for the accessibility of vegan food? 

Dominic & Anthony examine this story, amongst the rest of the week's top vegan & animal rights stories, including...

PETA buy racing pigeons to raise awareness of a cruel industry...

And the Great British Menu Fish Round winner isn't fish...it's vegan!

Plus lots more!

Vegans and Vegetarians...so near & yet, often, so far. Are there fundamental differences between the two approaches that mean they'll always be at odds, or do vegans just need to take a breath (and possibly a look at themselves) before judging others too harshly.

Julie, Paul, Kate & Anthony take a deep dive into this one.

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
