Episode Details

"Normally, you'd open up a hen shed door and there'd be 16,000 birds looking at you but to see them all lying dead, just a carpet of dead birds, is quite shocking. As a poultry keeper, it's a horrible shock."

The reality of this chicken farmer's way of life seems to be coming home to roost, but what are the wider implications of this in the vegan & animal rights space? As well as this story, Svenne, Kate & Shane will be discussing several others bits of news that have surfaced in the last 7 days.
