Brand new listener here, and I probably shouldn't just judge the entirety of this podcast by one incident. However, I think it speaks to her character.
Began listening to episode 26 and she began discussing her interaction with a friend who purchased a puppy from a breeder. She became really subtly judgemental and when her friend got upset, her reaction was "it's your problem if you feel bad about it". (Not a direct quote). Idk, I completely am for situations where direct confrontation is needed, but I think this attitude Erin has just further embraces the stereotype of the high and mighty vegan. You made your friend feel bad. Are there dogs that need rescuing? Yes. Should they be considered before adopting a bred puppy, yes! But if someone doesn't go in the direction you would have, you do not need to make them feel as though they personally escorted a kennel dog to the chamber. And further, it's not wholly their responsibility if they are offended.
Other people might hear this and not think anything of it, and that's totally fine. I, however, was too put off by this attitude to continue listening to her.
