In this lively episode of The Hen Report, Jasmin and Mariann swap stories from Vermont road trips to unexpected animal activism, all while tackling the psychological framing of veganism and celebrating rare wins for wildlife. Between family dinner dynamics and debunking anti-vegan psychology, our hosts remind us why standing firm in our ethics isn’t a “psychological prison” but rather a path to integrity.
This episode explores:
- The grassroots fight against dog tethering in Clinton County, NY, where citizens are being silenced despite overwhelming community support
- A critical analysis of a controversial Veg Out article claiming vegans have higher rates of depression due to “strict ethical codes”
- Promising new Faunalytics research showing vegan challenges lead to 10-28% retention rates and community-based approaches show significant promise
