Deep dives
Ethical Dilemma at the Liberty Bear Sanctuary
Volunteering at the Liberty Bear Sanctuary in Romania raises ethical concerns about contributing with different skills. However, the sanctuary's priority is the well-being of the bears, and volunteers play a vital role in feeding and caring for the animals.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Vegan Movement
COVID-19 has had mixed effects on the vegan movement. While it has raised awareness of zoonotic diseases and prompted reflection on lifestyle choices, it has also exposed xenophobia and anti-Asian racism within the vegan community.
Dumpster Diving for Food Waste
Dumpster diving for food waste can be a sustainable way to rescue food and prevent it from going to waste. While some may perceive it as unorthodox, it serves as a means to address food waste and support those in need.
Supporting Bear Conservation at Liberty Bear Sanctuary
Volunteering at the Liberty Bear Sanctuary provides an opportunity to help rescued bears in need of care and support. By contributing your skills and passion for animals, you can make a meaningful impact in their well-being.

Veganism, Imperfection, and Moral Responsibility
The conversation touches on the concept of veganism in an imperfect world, where the hosts analyze the challenges of maintaining a vegan lifestyle in a society that necessitates participation in systems that harm animals. They debate the balance between personal actions, ethical choices, and the pragmatic approach to reducing animal suffering within existing societal structures.
