Since then, he has given various radio and television interviews on mainstream platforms in Chennai, been invited as a guest speaker at universities, and organized regular outreach events in public spaces to spread the social justice message of Animal Liberation.In this conversation, we talk about-Samaran's story that inspired his activismReligious misperceptions when it comes to how certain animal species are considered superior to othersCaste and religion-based roots of vegetarian dietsWhy vegans for animal liberation must oppose the beef ban in IndiaAnd so much more!Folks can follow and support Samaran and his organization, LIFE- Liberation and Independence for Earthlings- on social media.Samaran: InstagramTwitter/XAAM Linktree (follow us, donate, bookshop, merch store, future events, and more):linktr.ee/animalactivismmentorshipTo support our work monthly: Patreon.com/AnimalActivismMentorshipTo keep up with the podcast, follow @AnimalActivismMentorship on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.Join the conversation in the Animal Activism Mentorship Community facebook group.Want to get active for the animals but don't know where to start?Sign up for a free mentor at AnimalActivismMentorship.comPlease remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast!
Meanwhile in Maidstone, I sit here writing this, pulling nails off my fingers; with the lingering taste of an unsatisfactory muffin in my mouth. Muffins are overrated, like chocolate-cake. And wot? Much prefer a chocolate-digestive, the undisputed king of the UK biscuit-game. Complete with a cup of tea, I feel like a military general with his loyal attack dog by his side, casually bowling onto the battlefield; drinking a cup of tea, just to muddle the metaphor even further. Someone get me a chocy-digestive, lively! He says.So what's going on? Another week done. Time is moving fast, mate, this year is almost 6 months old. Enough with the sentimentality, Paul, get on with it, son. Ok, Dad.Alright. So this week's offering is hope. Sort of. It's another piece from Make Your Own Bed and Hope for the Best. Yep. So how's that connect to hope? Well, a few weeks ago, writing the introduction to that days post, I mentioned how I've been struggling with this particular section of the show that I'm about to share. I then said last week that I'd started re-writing it, but was probably going to cut it; which was the case, until Tuesday, this week, sat on the Maidstone to Victoria train. I was out of ideas and just writing through to the end, in the hope that something would present itself.For some reason, I got the urge to re-start it again, slightly differently and this time it just flowed out in that way that rarely happens, ie I fleshed it out fairly quickly and in a way that just feels, well right, like when I get up in the morning and let the dogs into the garden. They just burst out the door. It's still scrappy, far from finished but it's a satisfying feeing and has altered my thinking on the whole thing. I'd share what I originally wrote, so you could see where I'm coming form but then, like school, that would probably be a bit well boring.A little word on the form. So this whole section of the show (none of which I've shared on here as yet) is written in this sort-of, list-poetry-style. I felt it lends itself nicely to the present-tense yet allows me to fill in any background information gaps, whilst moving the story a bit quicker. And I enjoy saying it this way. That's the thinking anyway.So that's your lot for now. Got an idea for a little article I want to write, regarding Peep Show. That may appear on here in the next few weeks, but then again I had this idea to write something about rap lyrics and working with kids. Started writing it and it was terrible. Not that confident with the ‘thought sharing' part of Lager-Time as yet. But you know, who dares wins and all that.If you like, hit that subscribe. Had one new subscriber join the ranks last week, thankyou, whoever you are. Please don't be a bot. Tortoise and the hare, mate.Have a banging weekend.
