Episode 281: “To understand biology is to understand that all life is linked to the earth from which it came…”

Welcome to the 281st episode of Our Hen House, featuring an interview with Simone Reyes, a review by Liz Dee, and a special appearance by Nina Hauptman.
On today’s episode, we discuss dinner party protocol as it relates to non-vegan guests; when food activism is better suited for vegan-friendly entrepreneurs; and, in “Rising Anxieties,” we’ll give you the latest additions to the world of oppressive children’s toys.
Joining us today is the outstanding animal activist and TV personality Simone Reyes, who will squawk all about her newest campaign to end the shipping of live chicks through the US Postal Service.
For our review, Liz Dee will give us her take on the documentary, Eco-Pirate: The Story of Paul Watson.
All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights. Speaking of current events, we have a special guest joining us for today’s news section: Nina Hauptman from Last Chance for Animals will tell us all about an emerging censorship dispute between their organization and the New York City MTA, regarding a billboard that was rejected based on the new MTA guidelines barring political advertising. You’ll want to hear this…

“To understand biology is to understand that all life is linked to the earth from which it came; it is to understand that the stream of life, flowing out of the dim past into the uncertain future, is in reality a unified force, though composed of an infinite number and variety of separate lives.” ~Rachel Carson.
