Happy Holidays from The ChickPeeps! This week Evy, Momo, Robbie and Tylor gather to boost team morale before embarking on the holiday season, a time when many vegans feel alienated and disenchanted by the abundance of non-vegan gifts and food items at family gatherings. We discuss what we’ll be up to this holiday season, our favourite go-to vegan friendly gifts and what to do when you encounter animals being used in festive celebrations. Also on this episode…
- Guess which ChickPeep has convinced their entire family to do a vegan Christmas?!
- Tylor explains why the use of real animals such as donkeys, in festive celebrations or nativity scenes is unethical.
- How to bring up the issue with using real animals for entertainment at holiday events without being a killjoy.
- Momo shares some tips for how to have a sustainable Christmas.
- We discuss whether or not Christmas trees are wasteful and how much space can we allow for sentimental traditions that create excess waste?
- We share some thoughts on an email from listener, Luiza, who’s partner’s family are very ‘meat-proud’ and whom she is worried may not be so accepting of her ethical lifestyle.
- Volunteer options for LA based activists, as requested by ChickPeep, Morgan:
- LAAnimalSave.org
- Anonymous for the Voiceless
- The Gentle Barn
- Farm Sanctuary
- Stray Cat Alliance
