Ep 14 - News of the week

Welcome to ‘News of the week’ on The Vegan Compass Podcast, where we navigate the highs and lows in animal rights news and advocacy. Together, co-hosts Mackenzie and Ric will bring you the stories that matter—some will leave you outraged, others inspired, but all of them serve as reminders of why we fight for justice for all sentient beings. This week, we’ve got a packed lineup. We talk about a major shake-up at the RSPCA in the UK, horrifying cases of animal abuse involving NSW school students, we’ll celebrate Portugal’s groundbreaking decision for a plant-based transition, and look ahead to Veganuary 2025, which is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.
