Alternatives to Animal Testing, & A Vegan Christmas - Suzanne Martin

from Book of Leaves

Suzanne Martin is an animal rights activist and vegan who set up SAFRI, a group campaigning to end animal testing in Ireland. She is also a member of NARA so we decided to have a chat about their recent pig and turkey farm investigations and share some tips on having a vegan christmas. You can stay up to date with them on Instagram via @safrireland. And DON'T FORGET to get in touch with your TDs and ask them to support the bill to ban fox hunting!
