Ep 105 We Honor Animal Rights Artist Lin May Saeed - Can We End Factory Farming?

Hey Pickles!Welcome to our 2 year podcast anniversary!! We couldn't have done it without you!We're headed to Syracuse Vegfest in Syracuse NY Saturday Sept 23rd 12-6. If you come to the booth, be sure to say " I'm a pickle on the Pod Squad" for a free sticker & 15% off of anything you purchase!We hope to see some of you there!This week, we honor the life of sculptor and animal rights activist, Lin May Saeed who recently succumbed to brain cancer.All of Saeed’s work sought to reestablish lost relationships with animals, whom she viewed as humanity’s equals. Her sculptures were rooted in the politics of the animal liberation movement, yet they rarely made direct pronouncements about how we should relate to the menagerie of cats, panthers, pangolins, lions, calfs, camels, and foxes that she depicted.Explore some of her work here:  https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/columns/lin-may-saeed-appreciation-1234678459/In our Main Topic, we ask the question, " Can We End Factory Farming?". We look into the current state of animal agriculture , where it's heading, and what we can do to try and stop the horrible and devastating practices in the industry.
