How do you turn your actions as an individual into a global movement? How can we change the world by bearing witness? In this episode of Activist, we talk with the brilliant Anita Krajnc about how she created the Animal Save Movement and how by opening our eyes to the suffering around us, we can help to end it.   In 2010 Anita made a promise to a pig on a truck, that she would no longer turn away. From three vigils a week, a movement was founded that would become global. Our chat with Anita was both moving and inspiring. If you want to make a bigger impact for the animals, Anita shares some wonderful advice and paves the way to a brighter future for the animals, the planet and the people.   "We want to change the cultural norm so that people don't say anymore that "Oh I don't want to see slaughterhouse footage, it's depressing, it's terrible, I don't want to see that." That's not an answer. Even if it hurts you, even if it causes you trauma we need to share the incredible trauma that animals are suffering in order to change their plight. They suffer trauma from the day they're born until the day they die. All their life they're suffering trauma. They bear witness all their life. We're just breaking witness a tiny bit and it's so devastating because it's so awful what's happening, but we need to do this. if all of us do this, if a community does it instead of one person, then there's more power in it and the situation will change faster. So that's the reason you don't have one person bearing witness, you really need to encourage the entire community to bear witness, because that's what's going to change the world faster." - Anita Krajnc

It's our pleasure to introduce you to one of the biggest players in the vegan movement. With over 30 years of expertise in the finance sector, Claire Smith is using her extensive abilities and wealth of knowledge to create a vegan economy. Through her user-friendly platforms, Beyond Investing and Beyond Animal, she has made huge waves by utilising the capitalist system to our advantage rather than fighting against it, and opening up countless opportunities for those who want to help create a vegan world by either working in exciting and sustainable business innovations, or funding them.   Whether you want to learn more about how you can become an investor on the vegan stock market, or perhaps you would like to work in a field which is more in line with your ethics than your current occupation, this interview is both informative and encouraging. The future really is vegan!   "Animal exploitation is a business. It's a commercial activity and we have to break that link between animals and making money out of animals...   It's almost like you have to make the business of not harming animals as profitable as the businesses or even more profitable than the businesses of harming animals.   And it's sad that's the way the world works. And sad that the world is as mercenary as that. But at the end of the day, it is the economy and we are all part of that economy. " - Claire Smith

Christopher 'Soul' Eubanks is a creative and activist who creates art and media to promote a vegan lifestyle.  Even if you think you haven't seen or heard of him before, you almost certainly have, through his widely shared social media content and words of wisdom. An enormous asset to the vegan movement, Chris is compassion and eloquence personified, making him a sought after speaker. In this brilliant and informative interview, we discuss many things, including his involvement as a mentor with the Animal Activism Mentorship, his invaluable and important work with Encompass, and - what many activists dream of - starting his very own animal rights organisation.   "One of the things that I look at when I look at the roots of any oppression is the fact that we see others as different. And when we start to see them as different we start to justify reasons that they can be exploited or abused, because we see them as detached from ourselves.   When we separate ourselves from others it gives us a justification to exploit and abuse others. So I think the root of it is we can't feel disconnected. Once we start to feel disconnected from anybody or anything I feel like we are disconnected from ourselves." -Christopher 'Soul' Eubanks

Susan Hargreaves is a kindness educator, author, speaker, and activist of more than 40 years. In that time she has been an outstanding voice for the animals and the vegan movement.

Susan is also the much-loved and treasured founder of the youth-empowering charity Animal Hero Kids, endorsed by celebrities such as Joaquin Phoenix and Paul McCartney and does amazing work fostering empathy and compassionate choices in youth. Listening to Susan really warms your heart and instils hope for a more compassionate future. We hope you enjoy this special interview with her as much as we did!   "Fostering empathy, that is the key. If you don't have empathy, you don't have a building block to kindness." -Susan Hargreaves

In this episode of "Activist" we are joined by the incredible Ryuji Chua A.K.A Peace by Vegan. Ryuji's mission is to connect humans with other animals by telling compelling and engaging stories through his content. This episode is a great resource for anyone putting out vegan content on social media platforms and wants to tell stories that will resonate with more people. "We live in a world where if you speak up for dogs or you speak up for dolphins or you speak up for animals that everyone loves like rhinos and elephants, people see you as a hero. But as soon as you speak up for cows, and chickens, and pigs, and turkeys and fish; now all of a sudden people see you like a clown. And they make fun of you, and they think that you are some sort of extreme vegan or something like that."   "We shouldn't be scared to criticize culture where it fails to be moral, or where it fails to deliver justice towards either certain humans or animals. We should look at that, think about it, criticize it, and ultimately seek to change it. And the only way we can do that is to accept that we're not going to be right about everything." - Ryuji Chua

Veganism isn't about the pigs, the sheep, the chickens or the cows, it is about ending the oppression of all animals. In this episode we explore the topic of trophy hunting with Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the Campaign to ban trophy hunting. Eduardo blew our minds and opened our eyes to the realities of a killing industry not just on the plains of Africa but on our backdoor step.   "Fundamentally what this is about is us as humans exploiting and using nature, other living creatures, for our own purposes with no regard for their welfare or the consequences.   And if you look at a lot of the big issues that we face today as humanity, as a human race, as a society, these are all those same issues.   We are destroying our natural resources, we are destroying biodiversity, we are proving this climate emergency, for those same reasons. Because we fail to take responsibility, we fail to understand that we are part of nature. It's not us and nature. We are inextricably linked and dependent on its fate as much as it is on ours.   And if we understand that through the prism of this issue, perhaps we can get a real sense of what the challenge is for the wider issues as well, and the changes we need to make." -Eduardo Goncalves

In this episode we speak to prominent New Zealand animal rights advocate and author, M C Ronen. Maya as she is otherwise known shares with us her journey and engaging insights into being a creative activist. We delve into effective activism through writing and how she crafted her novels “The Shed” and “Liberation” which portrays our everyday animal agriculture systems in a whole new perspective. "When I stand outside of the slaughterhouse and truck after truck comes in with with the victims who are going to be killed inside. And sometimes we just lock eyes with one of the victims, and in that brief moment the whole world of that victim is palpable to us. We can feel it. We can feel the confusion. We can feel the fear. We can smell it. It's reeking emanating from feces and urine and the moment is so strong. And then our job is to show the world." -M C Ronen   Get M C Ronen's book 'The Shed' https://www.amazon.com/dp/1720084386   'The Shed is about Sunny, a girl living in a community on a farm in a seemingly apocalyptic world. The farm is electrically fenced and has strict rules that are firmly observed, and especially the rule that girls like Sunny must not enter The Shed, an impending building inside the farm. Only grown women are allowed in, but even then, some who go in never come back. One day strange things start happening. Flying objects appear in the sky and the farm is raided in the middle of the night. One of Sunny's friends is among those taken. A few years later, when Sunny's friends are summoned to The Shed, Sunny‘s mother orders her to take her best friend and escape from the farm. But Sunny's path of escape still leads her right inside The Shed. What will she find there? Will she be able to escape? Why was the farm raided and what world awaits beyond it?'

Do any of us REALLY know what is going on in our oceans? Captain Paul Watson, founder and director of Sea Shepherd enlightens us to the shocking reality in this episode of ‘Activist'.  "Our ships are all vegan vessels, because we feel that that's a major contribution to addressing things like climate change. The production of meat, the killing of 65 billion animals every year is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, a major contributor to dead zones in the ocean, a major contributor to groundwater pollution. And that's not counting the destruction of the fishes, which is even greater than 65 billion. And another thing that people don't take into account is that 40% of all the fish taken out of the ocean is fed to chickens and to pigs and to domestic salmon, and to fur-bearing animals and everything like that. So even when people eat a hamburger they're eating a fish really. It's a complex thing. We live in a world right now where chickens eat more fish than all the worlds puffins and albatrosses. We live in a world where domestic house cats eat more fish in cans, 2.8 million tons a year, than all of the seals in the North Atlantic Ocean. It's a world out of balance." - Captain Paul Watson

After leaving the gang life and going vegan for ethical reasons, Joey Carbstrong wanted to give back. “I wanted to help the less fortunate. I wanted to help human beings which is still one of my passions. But I had a realisation. There were a group of innocent beings who needed my help the most. A group of beings who weren't even recognised by society as victims. A group of beings so persecuted, so exploited and so abused that it dwarfed any human genocide in comparison. The animals were screaming out for help and very few were listening. So I decided to answer their calls and began speaking for them with all my heart.” In episode eight of “Activist” Joey Carbstrong shares his brilliant insights and advice for how we can all become better advocates for the animals, and how we can each start our activism journey.
