This week, Evanna and Tylor speak to award-winning photojournalist, author and founder of We Animals Media, Jo-Anne MacArthur. Jo-Anne's striking images of animals in captivity are known to all within the animal rights movement, and have moved thousands of people to deeply consider humanity's relationship with animals. In this episode Jo-Anne shares her journey into veganism and animal rights, what she has learned in twenty years of photographing animals exploited by humans and whether or not she still remains optimistic about humanity.  Also in this episode… Jo-Anne describes how one chance encounter with a macaque monkey, while backpacking in Ecuador, inspired her to share the stories of animals. Jo-Anne tells us about her latest book Hidden: Animals in the Anthropocene. Jo-Anne explains why she refers to the animals used by humans as 'hidden animals' and why she has devoted her life to telling their stories. 'We have to create artistic, beautiful images, even of things that are absolutely terrible'. Jo-Anne stresses the importance of producing visually stimulating pictures of animals and likens it to war photography. Tylor shares that, in his time at PETA, they often used Jo-Anne's work in their campaigns. Jo-Anne talks about her organisation We Animals Media; a group of writers, filmmakers and artists, whose focus is to amplify the stories of animals. 'Anyone doing this front-line animal work needs to have a big focus on resilience'. Jo-Anne discusses the importance of safeguarding her mental health and shares that she has previously suffered from PTSD. 'I don't think I have become desensitized. I think it is important to keep my heart wide open and just let it break, over and over'. Jo-Anne explains how emotional engagement with her subjects and remaining highly sensitised to the plight of animals is key to her being able to produce such striking images. Jo-Anne tells Evy and Tylor about the creation of her Animal Photojournalism Masterclass and very generously offers us 4 free passes to giveaway to you, our dearest ChickPeeps.

    S2, Ep22: Understanding Animalkind with Ingrid Newkirk

    This episode is brought to you by Vivo Life! Use our code 'chickpeeps10' to get 10% off your order at vivolife.com! It's been 2 years since The ChickPeeps' first interview with Ingrid Newkirk and in that time fur has become passé, animal rights has gone mainstream and Ingrid has written a new book! So this week Ingrid rejoins Tylor and Evy to catch us up on PETA's updated approach to ending animal oppression, tell stories of animal communication from her new book, and share creative ways we can continue to change the world for animals during lockdown. Also on this episode... 'Fur is done and dusted' - Ingrid explains why PETA have retired the 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' campaign. Why isn't Canada Goose getting the memo that fur is uncool? Ingrid shares her opinions on COVID-19: 'If everybody was vegan we wouldn't have had any pandemic, and we won't have any in the future.' Is it insensitive for vegans to be talking about the source of the coronavirus? We talk about speciesism and the distinction between liking and respecting animals. 'We have to be against speciesism as much as we're against any of the other hideous 'ism's.' Tylor airs his gripe with the phrase 'voice for the voiceless' and asks Ingrid to weigh in on whether or not this is a statement of human supremacy. Ingrid talks about socially conscious sheltering and why she believes the no-kill movement isn't realistic. Can you be an animal abolitionist and support animal welfare causes? Ingrid shares about the inspiration behind her new book and gives some anecdotes about animals being faithful lovers and amazing parents! How can we continue to do activism in self-isolation?

    S2, Ep21: Keeping Animals in the Wild with Katie Tostevin-Hobbs

    This episode is brought to you by Vivo Life! Use our code 'chickpeeps10' to get 10% off your order at vivolife.com! As the world continues to battle a global pandemic that originated from contact with a wild animal, it seems timely to contemplate humanity's relationship to wild animals. So this week on Chickeeps, Evy speaks to longtime animal welfare activist and vegan, Katie Tostevin-Hobbs of World Animal Protection about what it means to create safe and respectful boundaries between people and wild animals. We discuss why it's unethical to use animals in entertainment, what wild animals really shouldn't be kept as pets, and also why some animal welfare organisations choose not to take a publicly vegan stance. Katie shares how a love for animals from a young age inspired her to devote her life to protecting them. How one man was left a wooly monkey in his inheritance and how it lead to the founding of a monkey sanctuary and protection for monkeys in the pet trade. What is meant by 'wild animals in entertainment' and does it always involve animal cruelty? Seeing the problem from all perspectives: Katie explains how the mahouts and exployees of elephant riding companies are victims to the system too, and what World Animal Protection do to help them find a new livelihood. How to open a dialogue with people who work in the animals in entertainment sector. What to do when you see a friend posting about swimming with dolphins? What's the definition of a wild animal that shouldn't be kept as a pet? What is the most ethical thing to do if you already have a wild animal as a pet? Katie explains the Promise4Wildlife and how important it is to shift public perception of wild animals in entertainment. Why Katie chooses to work in animal welfare, and the impact WAP has on animals in factory farming systems. Will World Animal Protection ever take a publicly vegan stance?

  5. Ep 11: Plant Based Health with Dr.Garth Davis

    Ep 11: Plant Based Health with Dr.Garth Davis

    After our fun, fictional, vegan musings of the magical world last week, the ChickPeeps take a more factual turn with a discussion on health as a vegan, and the common misconceptions society holds of plant-based nutrition. The brilliant Dr.Garth Davis, weight loss surgeon, author of Proteinaholic, and outspoken advocate for plant-based nutrition joins us (8.55 min in) for this episode to debunk the myths and explain to us the science of why our bodies function better without animal products. Also on this episode... Dr.Davis shares how his own health problems caused him to realise that the standard american diet was far from optimal. How Dr.Davis' perspective on health evolved and with it his attitude to diet: 'I just believed we were born with a lemon for a body'...'a flawed entity'. We're not in the food chain anymore.' Is eating too many carbs on a vegan diet cause for concern? 'A steak is not a protein'. Can you call white meat and fish 'clean'? Is cow's milk necessary for strong bones and healthy teeth? Why it's illegal to market eggs as 'healthy'. Complete proteins and how important it is to get the right balance of amino acids. B12; where it comes from and does Dr.Davis take a supplement? Why does soy get such a bad rep? Vegan Blood: 8x more effective at killing prostate cancer cells!
