    Animal Liberation War Stories. With Paul, Gary & Jerry | Ep. 115

    Sign Up to MapYourHealth Now: https://mapyourhealth.info/ This is a group conversation with three trailblazers of the animal liberation movement: Paul Watson, Gary Yourofsky and Jerry Vlasak. Together, we discussed what it means to break the law for the animals, something Animal Liberation Front Activists have been doing for decades. Call it direct action, disruptive activism, underground activism, civil disobedience, clandestine action - all for the purpose of liberating animals, destroying the tools of their exploitation and changing behaviors. We talked about their most epic activism adventures, what it feels like to be punished by the legal system for your commitment to the animal cause, the many countries that have banned our guests and much much more. Visit the Captain Paul Watson Foundation's website and support OPERATION KRILL WARS, a bold mission to safeguard the Antarctic ecosystem from the relentless industrial assault of fishing vessels.

    Investigating the Evil of Factory Farming. With Gail Eisnitz | Ep. 114

    Gail is the winner of the Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare. She is the chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association. Her work as an investigator helped shut down some of the worst, most cruel animal‑exploitation operations in the U.S. But that's nothing compared to the impact of her first book, Slaughterhouse, which not only inspired many people to become vegan, but also shifted the focus of our entire movement toward factory farming, put pressure on regulators and lawmakers to enforce animal welfare laws, and became a template and inspiration for new generations of animal‑rights investigators. Now Gail is back with a new book, Out of Sight. I highly recommend the book. Visit the episode notes to get it now. In addition to talking about her book, we discussed the mysterious force for good that has guided Gail throughout her life, but also the evil she has confronted; how her life was threatened in this line of work, her thoughts on the welfarism vs. abolitionism debate, more specifically the cage-free standard, and much more. Follow or subscribe to the show now. You don't want to miss next week's episode — a special group conversation with 3 other animal rights heroes: Captain Paul Watson, Gary Yourofsky, and Dr. Jerry Vlasak. Share this episode with the vegans you know. Gail deserves so much praise for all she has done and is still doing for the animals. We should know her name and story. Leave a five‑star review — it makes a difference. Thank you.

  5. Why Vegans Are Smarter. With Chris Bryant | Ep. 111

    Why Vegans Are Smarter. With Chris Bryant | Ep. 111

    Today, we’re asking a fun—and maybe slightly provocative—question: are vegans smarter than most people? You’ve probably seen those articles listing brilliant minds who were vegetarian for ethical reasons—people like Einstein, Tolstoy, Mary Shelley, or Leonardo da Vinci. And if you’ve been with us for a while, you might remember episode 37, where we talked about one of those great minds: the literary genius Al‑Ma’arri, often considered the first vegan in recorded history. So today we’re wondering: did their intellect lead them to the ethical principles we hold? And beyond these outliers, do we see the same pattern in the general population? To explore this, I’m joined by Chris Bryant. Chris is a social scientist and an expert on meat reduction and alternative proteins. He leads Bryant Research, and he’s also a prolific creator on YouTube. I actually joined him during one of his livestreams to record this episode—it was my first time doing a livestream, so that was an adventure in itself. You can find links to connect with Chris in the episode notes. In our conversation, we talk about the relationship between intelligence and veganism, but we also get into psychopaths, the dangers of animal activism, cannibalism, his experiences debating the “meat heads” of the internet, and a whole lot more.

    What If the World’s Religions Stood Up for Animals? With Joyce D'Silva | Ep. 110

    Have you ever considered what it would mean if global religions echoed and supported our fight for animals? To explore this question, I have the honor of welcoming a true hero of the movement: Joyce D'Silva. Joyce has been vegan for 52 years—longer than I’ve been alive—and her contributions to animals are extraordinary. She wrote one of the first-ever vegan cookbooks, lead the adoption of major animal welfare legislation in the UK and Europe, and continues her work, to this day as Ambassador Emeritus for Compassion in World Farming and Patron of the Animal Interfaith Alliance. She is also the author of Animal Welfare in World Religion: Teaching and Practice. I highly recommend getting multiple copies —one for yourself and your enjoyment, and others to share with the religious leaders of your town. Beyond religion, Joyce and I discuss the nature of evil, the idea of publicly naming wealthy factory farm and slaughterhouse owners, the most surreal moment of her life, and much more.
