This week Paul and Andy respond to an article sent in by dozens of listeners regarding a non-vegan restaurant that secretly served vegan meat to unsuspecting patrons, only to reveal to the true source of the ingredients after the fact. They’ll talk about what they think about this strategy. Is this a good way to turn people on to vegan meats? Is it unethical to deceive people in this way, even if it’s in the service of a just cause? How would we feel if the situation was reversed?

This week we are going to do our best to break down a recent action that has become a huge point of contention, both within the vegan world as well as the wider political sphere. During a talk on the gender pay gap, California Senator Kamala Harris was interrupted by a white male presenting activist in the name of animal liberation. We’ll discuss our feelings on these types of disruptions in general as well as what particular optics and dynamics have caused this one to become such a touch point.

This week Paul and Andy are talking about an emerging trend of veterinarians refusing to treat animals located at farmed animal sanctuaries due to disagreeing with their ethics. With several vets publicly refusing to help animals unless they are destined for slaughter, the Bearded Vegans will do their best to ask why? Is it ethical for them to deny service? And, more broadly, why aren’t more vets vegan?
