Like gold prospectors keeping their ear to the ground, so many of us are desperate to find the optimal source of folk who are just waiting to become vegan & improve outcomes for animals...and it turns out they're all hanging around the cruelty-free lipstick aisle!

This week, Shane, Kate & Mark read behind the headlines & give their commentary on the week's animal rights & vegan news from across the globe.
