Episode Details

According to the Guardian this week, Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean is now a biodiverse paradise for insects & other creepy crawlies. Hooray! And all it took was a 2019 programme mandating the killing of nearly a third of a million mice & rats. Sigh. Of course. 

This week Carlos is back on the pod, discussing this news story as well as several others amongs the animal rights & vegan headlines from the last seven days.
