Episode 246: “In order to change something, don’t struggle to change the existing model. Create a new model, and make the old one obsolete.”

Welcome to the 245th episode of Our Hen House, featuring Rich Hoyle of The Pig Preserve and a review of the Better Booze Festival by our very own Danielle Legg.
In today’s episode, we talk about two new fast food chains and the recent vegan offerings on their menus; whether we have the capability of having fun; and why Mariann recently found herself in a judge’s robe, talking animal rights.
Joining us today is Rich Hoyle, the fascinating guy behind Tennessee’s The Pig Preserve, an organization that takes on a “new approach to pigs at risk.”
For our review, Our Hen House’s Danielle Legg will fill us in on the all-vegan Better Booze Festival.
All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights.
