In this week’s episode Stevie and Luc talk about animal interests.  Do they have interests? When farmers say they are taking them into consideration, do they give them enough weight?  Find out as Stevie and Luc discuss the farm experiment where social media decides the way in which a litter of pigs will be raised for human consumption.  Bacon Week! It’s a thing. The Earth gets Earth Hour, bacon gets a whole week.  Stevie and Luc present Vegan Australia’s response and why the RSPCA are endorsing it.  All this and so much more on your favourite Australian Vegan podcast.

Join Luc and Stevie for some epic vegan rants, book reviews and more.  Do vegans and vegetarians kill more animals than omnivores?  Should they just shut up and return to the fold of comfortable carnism rather than deal with the uncomforable reality that yes, animals die even when you’re vegan?

Stevie reviews Why Animals Matter by zoologist Marian Stamp Dawkins.  Luc reviews Finding Ultra by endurance athlete Rich Roll.  Two very different books, two totally different reviews.  Also find out about the new vegan social networking site Ble.at and a vegan supermarket chain in Germany.

In episode 73 Stevie and Luc delve into the murky water of how easy it is to get good people to do bad things by looking at some psychological experiments and the work of Phillip Zimbardo.  Also following Zimbardo’s work, they ask the important question: are vegans heroes?  They also look at staying vegan, providing accurrate nutritional advice and look at reasons why people ditch veganism and is there anyway we can transform vegan cutlure to provide better support for these individuals who feel like veganism isn’t working for them.

Join Stevie and Luc this week as they discuss how slaughterhouses are bad for not just animals, but for workers and the broader communities with a recent Australian study.  Also, an Australian slaughterhouse, who caused the death of a worker through negligence, get off with a light slap on the wrist.  They also discuss the possibility of the Japanese whaling season ending early after just one minke whale was slaughtered.  In bad news for vivisection a recent paper finds mouse models to be wholly inadequate in the prediction and development of treatment for certain human diseases.  To add insult to injury for the vivisection industry, a group of scientists declare that many animals (including those used in vivisection) are indeed conscious.

So Australia is on fire.  Extreme conditions leading to multiple bush fires is exacerbated by climate change, according to the Australian government Climate Commission.  Stevie and Luc decide to get topical in this episode with a feature on climate change and animal agriculture, amidst the mainstream radio silence surrounding the shorter lived climate forcers of methane, black carbon, and ground-level ozone.  Come on a sciency-geek-fest of mind-blowing statistics that should shake even the most deep-seated environmentalist from their flesh-and-secretions consuming slumber.

Stevie and Luc also look at a new report on food wastage around the world, from farm to table.  This report also shows that animal products are grotesquely inefficient and the way we eat and farm will have to change if we are to feed a growing population of earthlings.

This episode is dedicated to all the victims of the Australian bush-fires including nonhuman victims both farmed and free.
