Is AI sentient? Professor breaks down the evidence around AI, plant, fish and insect sentience

In this episode of The Disclosure Podcast, I break down the UK Supreme Court ruling that prevents Oatly from using the slogan “post-milk generation” on its packaging, and explore why this case is nothing to do with consumer confusion and everything to do with protecting the dairy industry. I discuss the inconsistencies and absurdities in current labelling laws, what this reveals about industry influence and lobbying, and why situations like this should encourage us to question broader claims made about dairy, from health and sustainability to ethics.Order my new book How to Go (and Stay) Vegan here.For more exclusive content and personal writing from me, check out my Substack here.On my Substack, I share not only my own reflections and personal thoughts on veganism, but also my journey and struggles.

'Post-Milk Generation’ and Other Things Big Dairy Doesn’t Want You to Say: The Oatly Case

In this episode I talk about the experience of feeling angry as a vegan and why many of us feel strong emotions after becoming vegan and realising the scale of animal exploitation. I discuss whether these feelings are normal, as well as the risks of letting anger turn into burnout or isolation, and reflect on the importance of finding a healthy balance so we can continue advocating for animals without harming our own well-being.Order my new book How to Go (and Stay) Vegan here.For more exclusive content and personal writing from me, check out my Substack here.On my Substack, I share not only my own reflections and personal thoughts on veganism, but also my journey and struggles.

Is it normal to feel angry as a vegan?

Since recording this episode, the UK government has presented its new Animal Welfare Strategy. One of the things that is set to be banned is the boiling alive of lobsters and crabs. This an issue that Edie Bowles and her team have been campaigning on, taking the legal fight to the UK government and compelling them to change the welfare laws around crustaceans. Can the law take on animal farming? In this episode, I sit down with animal law solicitor Edie Bowles who explains how the law is being used to protect animals, the battles being fought behind the scenes, and what it could mean for the future of farming.Edie Bowles is an accomplished animal law solicitor and co-founder of both Advocates for Animals (AFA) - the UK’s first animal protection law firm - and The Animal Law Foundation (ALF), a charity that researches and advocates for better enforcement and interpretation of animal protection laws.Edie began her career in intellectual property law and heard little about animal law as a career option during university. Once she discovered it was possible to turn her passion for animals into a profession, she made the switch, spending several years as a solicitor with Cruelty Free International before founding AFA and ALF.You can find more about Edie's work here:- https://www.advocates-for-animals.com/- https://animallawfoundation.org/- Social media handle: @AnimalLawFDN----------------------------------------------------------------------------📚To order my new book, click this link.For more exclusive content and personal writing from me, check out my Substack here.On my Substack, I share not only my own reflections and personal thoughts on veganism, but also my journey and struggles.

What role should celebrity culture have when it comes to veganism?

It's time for a new chapter.

Seaspiracy hit Netflix on March 24th, and I don't think even the vegan community were prepared for the huge impact it was about to have. Trending across the globe and hitting #1 on Netflix in the UK, the power of Seaspiracy cannot be overstated. An outpouring of news articles, statements in response, and a 'debunking' of the facts presented soon followed. Today I'm discussing Seaspiracy, the impact that it's had and some of the criticisms it's received.In today's episode:- Responding to: "What about Indigenous fishers? Seaspiracy shouldn't be telling Indigenous communities not to fish."- Responding to: "It’s not right to tell the consumer what to do, Seaspiracy is gaslighting you."- Aquaculture Alliance & false statements.- What has the pushback from the industry been like so far? - Going in depth on the Earth Island Institute/Dolphin-Safe conversation.- Facing speciesism: caring  about dolphins more than tuna.- Explaining the great Pacific Garbage Patch statistic. - Did Cowspiracy force environmental organisations to change their messaging, and will Seaspiracy do the same?✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what I do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support 

Ep 32: The Disruption of Seaspiracy & The Race Against Time to Debunk the Facts

In today's episode I look back upon the moments in my life that acted as building blocks towards me making the switch from passionate KFC lover to vegan. I used to love eating fried chicken, I  was always up for a trip to the zoo, and as a child I laughed at vegetarians. So, what happened?

Christmas can be a very challenging time of year for vegans. During a time of celebration, seeing our loved ones perpetuate so much death and suffering can be extremely overwhelming.

Ep 28: How to Get Through Christmas as a Vegan

During the past couple of weeks there has been a media frenzy surrounding an EPIC-Oxford study that concluded that vegans have a higher risk of bone fractures. Headlines such as, "Meat-free diets linked with greater risk of breaking bones" and, "‘It is a worry’: The truth about veganism and bone health" littered news websites and flooded onto social media. Even Joe Rogan shared the study, as even though he has often criticised epidemiology that supports veganism, he clearly considers this to be damning evidence for his very public feelings towards veganism.Listen to find out:- Are vegans really at a 43% higher risk of fracturing bones? Especially hips fractures?- Are we biased as vegans against studies like this, and how should we react to it?- Is there dubious funding behind this study?✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what I do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support

In this episode I am joined by Jonathan Balcombe, an expert in animal behaviour. We discuss his work exploring how intellectually and emotionally complex fish actually are, and dispel many of the hugely prevalent myths surrounding fish, and fish sentience.

Ep 26: Why Don't Humans Care About Fish? In Conversation with Jonathan Balcombe

I was once disappointed that I wasn't able to see an orca performing at an aquarium I was visiting, I once bet on horses with friends, and I once ate animal products every single day. But once I went vegan, everything changed. Your perspective on the world radically shifts, as if a blindfold has been removed. Suddenly everything looks different, and suddenly, there seems to be suffering everywhere you look. Perhaps the most difficult, and most challenging part of this is the sudden realisation that your friends and family are taking part in this suffering, and are in fact paying for it to continue.But although the reality of the truth can be harder than the comfort of the lie, it is through this realisation that we can actually create a kind of world where we don't need to hide behind a lie to feel comfortable.✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what i do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support 

Ep 25: Reflecting on Life Before Veganism - How the World Never Looks the Same Again When You Go Vegan

Welcome to Season 3 of The Disclosure Podcast! In today's episode I take a look at how the dairy industry lied to the world, and almost got away with it. From 'government cheese' to government collusion, I break down how the industry worked with the US government to up the populations' intake of dairy products - ultimately leading to more breast and prostate cancer, more environmental destruction, and of course, more animal suffering. How is it possible that one industry managed to get away with this for so long? ✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what i do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support

Ep 23: Why the Hunting Argument Doesn't Hold Up - What to Say if You're Arguing with a Hunter

On June 19th 2020, Regan Russell was killed. ⁣⁣An activist since the 1970s, she was at Fearman’s Pork slaughterhouse with Toronto Pig Save for a regular vigil. During these vigils the activists have an agreement with the slaughterhouse where the trucks stop outside for 2 minutes, so the activists can approach and give the pigs water and show them some comfort.However, on that day, one of the truck drivers ran Regan over and killed her. ⁣⁣In today's episode, I discuss how the new Bill 156, which was passed just a few days before, could have potentially pushed the truck driver to act in a way that ultimately ended a human life.Bill 156 exists to prevent activists from filming animal suffering on farms and during transport, making it illegal to do so.⁣⁣

In this episode I delve into the current slaughterhouse situation in the US, talking not only about the outbreaks of COVID-19 in US facilities and the effect that is having on slaughterhouse workers, but also how slaughterhouses foster an environment where workers suffer from mental health problems such as PTSD, drug and alcohol dependency, social isolation and emotional repression. I reflect on some of my personal experiences with slaughterhouses and slaughterhouse workers, and I also discuss how the current pandemic is driving people towards vegan options.✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what i do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support
