315- Beagles rescued from animal testing and meat packers walk out of Smithfield

Yes, not only has MBR Acres been the subject of an open rescue this week, but a Smithfields meat plant in the US has seen 100 workers walk out in protest. Is animal oppression falling apart in front of our very eyes?! We can only hope...

As well as this news, Anthony & Shane will be discussing several others stories from the week's vegan & animal rights space.
