  • What's in a name: Is the term 'plant-based' a help or hindrance when it comes to the vegan activist movement?

    What's in a name: Is the term 'plant-based' a help or hindrance when it comes to the vegan activist movement?
    Dec 1 2022
    Shakespeare said "A rose by any other word would smell as sweet", but how much weight does a name really hold? Last month, the Vegan Society marked World Vegan Month by investigating consumer attitudes towards ‘plant-based’ and 'vegan' terminology, and why those attitudes were held. This week, Will Appelbe and Courtney White discuss their reckons on the matter, and what impacts using these terms might have for the vegan movement. They also discuss the news that 90% of Brits accept farmed animals really aren't all that different from companion animals, and yet another interesting development in the Greyhound Racing Industry saga.

  • Animal abuse, extensive injuries and methamphetamine: Is the end near for New Zealand’s greyhound racing industry?

    Animal abuse, extensive injuries and methamphetamine: Is the end near for New Zealand’s greyhound racing industry?
    Nov 17 2022
    Is the bell finally tolling for greyhound racing in New Zealand? If conversations and media stories with Racing Minister Kieran McAnulty are to be believed, the industry’s days may very well be numbered. After yet another horror weekend on Auckland’s race tracks, a ban couldn’t come fast enough. This week, Will Appelbe and Courtney White get back behind the mics to chat what the future looks like for greyhound racing, with McAnulty confirming the industry could be shut down (pending the results of an upcoming Racing Integrity Board report, due in a matter of weeks). They also discuss the impact fireworks continue to have every November, and a worrying new development in New Zealand’s Salmon farming industry.
