    Plant Geezer Ep:57 - THE NON-VEGAN ACTIVIST, EX-VEGETARIAN ANIMAL LOVER

    I saw a video of @Kosgi on Instagram of him advocating for pigeons and foxes. I noticed his passion and wanted to find out his views on veganism and why he isn't vegan. We met up for a friendly talk in London to find out! Instagram - @PLANTGEEZERPODCAST / @PLANTGEEZER. Email - PlantGeezer@gmail.com

    Plant Geezer Ep:56 - CLIF GRANT, DEONTOLOGY & UTILITARIANISM, ACTIVISM & CHANGING PUBLIC MINDS

    Clif Grant tells his story and talks everything animal rights and vegan activism. It was a pleasure to. fly over to Belfast and have a drink with Clif to talk about everything that is going on with his activism. To take such a simple approach yet pull off so many vegan conversions is truly incredible. Instagram - @PLANTGEEZERPODCAST / @PLANTGEEZER. Email - PlantGeezer@gmail.com

    Plant Geezer Ep:54 - RONNIE LEE, 10 YEARS FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS, THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT (ALF) AND THE FUTURE OF VEGANISM

    It was an absolute pleasure to speak with Ronnie Lee, founder of the ALF. He tells his story of how direct action led him to prison, how that has shaped him, and what he thinks is best for the movement going forward. Ronnie Lee (born 1951) is a British animal rights activist best known as the founder of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), an international, leaderless movement that utilizes direct action and economic sabotage to oppose animal exploitation. Here is a quick breakdown of his life and evolution as an activist: 1. The Early Days & "Band of Mercy"Lee became a vegetarian in 1970 and fully committed to a vegan lifestyle in 1972. Looking for active ways to protect wildlife, he joined the Hunt Saboteurs Association (HSA) in the early 1970s to disrupt fox hunts. Frustrated by the legal limitations of the HSA, Lee and a fellow activist, Cliff Goodman, wanted to take more aggressive, law-breaking actions. In 1972, they formed a breakaway group called the Band of Mercy (named after a 19th-century anti-hunting group). The group expanded its targets from hunting vehicles to pharmaceutical laboratories and animal research facilities, pioneering the use of property damage and arson to inflict economic losses on industries that exploit animals. 2. The Birth of the ALFIn 1974, Lee and Goodman were arrested after raiding an animal testing facility in Bicester, Oxfordshire, and were sentenced to three years in prison. Lee served a year before being paroled. He emerged from prison more militant than before. In 1976, he organized a group of roughly 30 activists to form a new, decentralized campaign. Wanting a name that would "haunt" those who used animals, he chose the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Lee initially acted as the group’s public Press Officer. 3. Imprisonment and Later ActivismLee’s commitment to direct action led to a heavy personal cost. He ended up serving three separate prison stints totaling roughly 9 years: 1974: Sentenced for the Bicester laboratory raid.1977: Sentenced to 8 months for a raid on a facility breeding mice for lab experiments.1987: Sentenced to 10 years for conspiracy to commit arson and criminal damage targeting laboratories and department stores (he was released in 1992). 4. Shift to EducationFollowing his final release from prison in 1992, Lee’s strategy fundamentally shifted. Recognizing that the vast majority of animal abuse occurs within the food industry, he stepped away from illegal direct action. He now focuses his energy on legal advocacy, grassroots organizing, and vegan education. Lee strongly advocates that the most effective way to achieve true animal liberation is to peacefully change public consciousness and encourage people to adopt a vegan lifestyle.

    Plant Geezer Ep:53 - DEBATE, ACTIVISTS ARE NOT VEGAN, LESLIE CROSS & REAL VEGANS

    Thank you to AJ with a debate on how he thinks activists are anti-vegan or welfarist because they place their main focus on cruelty and abuse instead of use. We do not deny that veganism is a rejection of use, but telling people this doesn't change their mind. Therefore until we see valid evidence of focusing on the definition changing minds compared to exposing cruelty, our methods will remain the same Instagram - @PLANTGEEZERPODCAST / @PLANTGEEZER.

    Plant Geezer Ep:52 - GEORGE MARTIN, MOST HATED VEGAN, PAID DISRUPTORS & THEIR DAMAGE TO THE MOVEMENT

    Great talk with George from @carnism_debunked as he lets off some steam on the latest cult within the AR movement. He talks about his journey, his activism and his website before exposing some odd behaviour from a certain group of 'Vegans' that is having detrimental effects on activists and ultimately the non-human victims. Have a look at his debates and his work - he is one of the most articulate speakers in the movement. Context: There are a group of people who claim to be 'vegan educators' that go around and bombard activists posts claiming they are misrepresenting veganism and that they are 'welfarists' or 'plant based utilitarians'. This is mainly due to a focus on bad welfare and how animals are treated, instead of a focus on 'that they are mistreated'. Despite multiple back and fourths with this group, they just cannot accept that activists focus their attention on suffering and they continue to attack activists on videos, comment sections and in DMs complaining that said activists are to blame for all the "ex vegans" in the world. Despite this being factually debunked and despite research being done on multiple activists explaining that they actually got into veganism via cruel and disturbing welfare footage, this clan just cannot accept the disagreement and continue to pester those who are doing valuable work.

    Plant Geezer Ep:51 - YOUTUBE GUEST INTERVIEWS HOST, VYSTOPIA, 'VEGANS HIJACKED PLANT-BASED',

    REDFARMER from youtube comments talks vystopia and some other stuff. He actually ends up giving me an interview which was a surprise but we then ended up disagreeing on calorie efficiency and land use. Red is clearly a passionate and caring person who I believe would be a fantastic vegan advocate should he make the switch Instagram - @PLANTGEEZERPODCAST / @PLANTGEEZER.

    Plant Geezer Ep:50 - 'YOU ARE ANTI-VEGAN!', WELFARISM, ACTIVISM & THE VEGAN POLICE

    Buzzing to reach episode 50 on the PG podcast! Thank you to all guests and listeners. This week David (@Davidc.arenas) joined our Youtube live and expressed his concerns amongst activists labelling some as anti-vegan, welfarists and mis-informers. I was expecting a heated debate but it actually turned out quite well in terms of aggro. David claims that big time activists who he he says aren't actually vegan, are in fact detrimental to the animal liberation movement. I strongly disagreed Instagram - @PLANTGEEZERPODCAST / @PLANTGEEZER. Email - PlantGeezer@gmail.com
