Any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental, unless explicitly stated. It is not intended to assert definitive claims about any individual or organizations and viewers should conduct their own independent verification.In this episode, we are talking about a once unanimously beloved vegan brand: HappyCow.Many people online have reported a sudden drop in the quality and accuracy of HappyCow. A decline that reportedly started around 2025.Now, an anonymous message from allegedly laid-off HappyCow employees is circulating online, offering some answers as to why HappyCow is in decline. It seems that the founder of HappyCow, Eric Brent, sold the company to Green Monday in 2021, which then sold it in 2025 to its new owner, Claudia Torres, who fired most of the staff and implemented a so-called "full tech rebuild."I came across that message in a post published in the r/vegan subreddit. That post has since been taken down by moderators, and the author of the post has been banned from Reddit. The message starts as follows: "We are former members of the HappyCow team, you’ll know us as TeamCow. The purpose of this statement is to bring awareness to the story the outside world has never been told." You will find a link to the full message in the episode notes.To discuss this topic, I have with me Bartek Filipowicz, Head of HappyCow from 2022 to 2024. He is currently building an alternative to HappyCow called Spinach, which you can access online at spinach.guide or download as an app on your phone.Access the Full Message from Allegedly Anonymous HappyCow Ex-Employees: https://paste.dvotx.org/?6dfe11ff02df8d57#5tkkAeHN4oaSSvjHaS9gybSrCYc4TiY6PPk4z51SoAKvDiscover Spinach Now: https://spinach.guide/If you have any comment or question regarding the show, send a message to theveganreportpodcast@gmail.comFollow The Vegan Report on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganreportpodcast/Follow The Vegan Report on X: https://x.com/veganreportshow

Veganic Farming: Making Peace with Nature.
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!In this episode, we're exploring the veganic movement and philosophy — an approach to growing food that's not just plant-based, but entirely free of animal inputs.To discuss this topic, I'm joined by a pioneer of the veganic movement, Meg Kelly, founder and head of the Learn Veganic online course and the annual Veganic Summit.We talk about the limits and inconsistencies of organic farming, how we can garden in the heart of a big city, what it would take for farmers to work with nature rather than against it, the spiritual and mental health benefits of getting your hands in the soil, what we can do as vegans if we want to eat veganic, and much more.I warmly invite you to get your free ticket now for this year's virtual Veganic Summit.Get Your Free Ticket to the Veganic Summit: https://veganicsummit.com/If you have any comment or question regarding the show, send a message to theveganreportpodcast@gmail.comFollow The Vegan Report on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganreportpodcast/Follow The Vegan Report on X: https://x.com/veganreportshow

A Fork in the Road: The Future of Animal Protection.
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!In this episode, I’m joined by Anita Krajnc. Anita is the co-founder of the Plant Based Treaty and the founder and executive director of The Save Movement. She is currently leading the “Beyond Cage-Free” initiative, an open letter that, and I quote, is “calling on Effective Altruists to pivot their focus area and the AI Windfall funding away from welfarist reforms toward plant-based initiatives that create multiplier benefits for animals, climate, health, food security, and reduced pandemic risk.”I invite you to sign the Beyond Cage-Free open letter. I signed that letter. Not because I don't believe in evidence based activism, quite the opposite. There is evidence that those campaigns are not helping anyone - enough evidence to warrant putting a break on the stream of millions funding this style of activism.In addition to discussing cage-free campaigns, we also tried to understand what is going on in the minds of activists in this movement who have chosen to pursue operating advanced forms of factory farming.And to help us better understand their thinking, Anita and I looked at an article by Aiden Kankyoku, published on his Substack, Sandcastles, titled “There Is a Path to Meat Without Misery.”Sign the Open Letter: https://beyondcagefree.org/Anita's Substack: https://anitaplantbased.substack.com/?subscribed=trueThe Cage-Free Gaslight | Ep. 120 https://rss.com/podcasts/veganreport/2957184/They Fought Factory Farms.

The Psychic Elephants of Thula Thula.
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!When the renowned conservationist Lawrence Anthony—known as the "Elephant Whisperer"—passed away in March 2012, a herd of elephants he had rescued and rehabilitated at the Thula Thula reserve in South Africa performed an extraordinary act of mourning. They decided, on their own, to travel over 12 miles through the bush, arriving at his family home two days after his passing to hold a quiet, two-day vigil. Remarkably, the herd returned to the house on the exact same date for three consecutive years following his death.This documented episode remains completely unexplained.To discuss this mysterious phenomenon, I have with me Francoise Malby-Anthony, the widow of Lawrence Anthony, and the Director and co-Founder of Thula Thula. She is also the writer of several books, including "An Elephant in My Kitchen: What the Herd Taught Me about Love, Courage and Survival" and "The Elephants of Thula Thula" which I highly recommend. Check out the episode notes for more details.Disover Francoise's books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/21245215.Fran_oise_Malby_AnthonyVisit Thula Thula: https://thulathula.com/If you have any comment or question regarding the show, send a message to theveganreportpodcast@gmail.comFollow The Vegan Report on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganreportpodcast/Follow The Vegan Report on X: https://x.com/veganreportshow
