Episode 47 - Fur and Cultural Imperialism



Download

In Episode 47, Luc and Stevie look at the resurgence of fur in fashion and the industry's co-option of the language of sustainability.  They also discuss the RSPCA's "humane" food survey, the disconnect between various forms of the same violence, racism and imperialism in live export conversation, a study that shows Monsanto corn causes cancer in rats (no word yet on what it will do to humans), and the connection between veganism and simplification.

In Compassion Corner, they looks at the work of Breeze Harper in making the connection between sexism, class, rascism, colonialism, and veganism.
