• 165- Police called as animal advocacy almost makes child cry

  The brilliant parody that is Kent Young Slaughterers group caused a stir last weekend, crashing the party at the Swan Young Farmers Club family fun day. But raising awareness of animal suffering seemingly needs to be halted if children are on the verge of tears. Riding solo for this episode, Ant looks at this and several more stories from the last seven days or so, all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.****************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.

• 164- When should vegans let it drop?

  Campaigns against organisations, industries- or even individuals- are an important part of any social justice movement. But how do we know when we should bring a campaign to an end- or a pause- and how do we go about it? In this episode Mark, Dominic & Ant look at Animal Rising's campaign against the RSPCA Assured scheme as a starting point, before discussing more widely the question of, "when should we let this drop?"For context, the RSPCA Assured scheme is detailed here: https://www.rspcaassured.org.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcm7xdfZjAMV54qDBx3GGClxEAAYASAAEgJYOvD_BwEAnimal Rising's website can be found here: https://www.animalrising.org/And one of their press releases from the campaign last year can be found here: https://www.animalrising.org/post/rspca-scandalAs ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via [email protected]*************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.
