    Evanna Lynch part one

    This episode is part one of our conversation with the brilliant Evanna Lynch, who you might know better as Luna Lovegood.  Growing up in rural Ireland, Evanna was a quiet, shy child who found comfort in the pages of Harry Potter. When she was chosen to play the role of Luna Lovegood, she felt like her dreams had come true, but the reality wasn’t always pygmy puffs and rainbows. In this episode Evanna, a self-confessed Potter super-fan, opens up about finding it difficult to relax on set surrounded by her heroes, tells us how she offered to donate her salary to pay for a certain character’s funeral, and shares what it was like having a bodyguard at school.   Evanna supports many charities including Lumos and Veganuary. She also co-founded the cruelty-free beauty box Kinder Beauty. Listen to Evanna’s podcast The Chickpeeps to learn about her journey into veganism.  Listen to our next episode for part two!

    S2, Ep4: The Role of Animal Welfare in Vegan Activism with Compassion In World Farming

    This episode is brought to you by Vivo Life! Use our code 'chickpeeps10' to get 10% off your order at vivolife.com! For many vegans, animal welfare activism can feel problematic. Why advocate for better farming practices when you'd rather not endorse animal farming at all? Isn't it betraying the animals to be demanding anything less than their total freedom? And can animal welfare organisations really be working towards a vegan world whilst they are working alongside the companies killing animals for profit? This week co-hosts, Tylor and Evy discuss the complicated role of animal welfare in vegan activism and speak to expert animal welfare campaigner and hardcore vegan activist, Sean Gifford, of Compassion in World Farming to gain some valuable insights on how to straddle both the vegan and welfare approach to helping animals. Also on this episode… How a small gesture by a chipmunk inspired Sean's vegan awakening. Sean discusses his multiple arrests for the animal rights cause and why nowadays he tries to avoid brushes with the law. How a vegan deals with having to use welfare language like 'humane meat'. Why must abolitionists be so rude online?!, Evy asks and Tylor explains. 'Anyone in the animal protection movement, I think we should all just focus on what we share which is that unyielding belief that animals can feel pain and lead emotional lives from a chick to a pig, to a cow to even fish, the forgotten factory farmed animal.' Is veganism too idealistic to be achievable?  Ending the Cage Age. The government are making 'sympathetic noises' but you can also help CIWF stop live exports.

  4. Ep 5: The Dairy Problem with Animal Equality

    07/12/2017

    Ep 5: The Dairy Problem with Animal Equality

    This week The ChickPeeps take a more serious turn as we investigate the issue with dairy and exactly why vegans don't consume it. Many non-vegans argue that taking its milk doesn't hurt cows and that in fact milking actually relieves the cow. We explore the reasons why this is a myth, and discuss the results of quitting dairy products entirely. We also interview two of the founders of Animal Equality, and creators of the groundbreaking iAnimal project, Jose Valle and Sharon Nunez, who recount in vivid detail the experiences they've had on dairy farms and the typical life of a dairy cow. Also on this episode... Is there more suffering in a glass of milk? 'You're not lactose intolerant, you're just not a baby cow.' The gifts/health benefits cows give you when you stop eating their secretions. Evy expresses her frustration with evolution to provide cows with adequate weaponry - why no fanged cows yet? Momo suggests carving holes in animals is probably not to their liking. Why do people think calcium is synonymous with dairy milk?  The Chickpeeps discuss their favourite dairy substitutes. Is dairy a feminist issue? How Animal Equality was founded. Jose shares how the iAnimal project was conceived. Tylor: 'These Animals are children who are then forced to have children who are then taken away just so we can drink their milk.' Is there an ethical way to consume dairy? The future for dairy farms.

    Ep 26: Environmentalism with Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn

    Here at The ChickPeeps we've talked about being vegan for the animals and vegan for our health but we haven't talked about being vegan for the health of humankind and animals together aka. THE ENVIRONMENT! To address this topic, we interview the mastermind filmmakers Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn who put the environmental impact of veganism into focus with their groundbreaking documentary, Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret. In this interview Kip and Keegan expand on the information shared in Cowspiracy and explain precisely what impact one individual can have on the environment by being vegan. Also on this epsiode… Kip and Keegan explain why they are actually ethical vegans. Robbie gets nerdy with Keegan about the true cost of animal agriculture on the environment. 'Literally anything you could care about in the environmental world, raising animals for food is the primary driver of its destruction, and yet it's basically overlooked. How organic or grass-fed meat is worse for the environment. Why animal agriculture is also a people problem: 'If there wasn't such a demand for meat dairy and eggs in the so-called "developed world", we wouldn't see these rates of poverty that we see - and starvation and hunger - in the developing [world].' What difference can one person going vegan actually make? Non-vegan environmentalists: how to talk to hardcore environmentalists who reject veganism. Mangoes from India? Avocados from Mexico? The environmental impact of importing foods from around the world, and do we need to be focusing on local produce? Are almond farms causing drought? 'This is a movement from the grassroots up, I think it's going to need to be us hitting a critical mass as vegans and vegetarians and environmentalists and compassionate people.' Is veganism enough? Kip expands on how else we can be mindful of Mother Earth. Kip and Keegan talk about their exciting upcoming projects. Some listener feedback from the companion pets episode and an unusual ensemble for your cat. CORRECTION: In this episode Keegan mentions that cows can drink 150 gallons of water per day.  He meant to say 150 litres of water per day.  https://www.fas.scot/article/the-importance-of-water/ Links: Check out the documentary: Cowspiracy The Sustainability Secret.
