Every year, billions of animals across the world are exploited and killed for pleasure and profit.
To me personally, it feels a little bit like what you would see in a horror movie.
You know, life in a laboratory is a pretty miserable thing. Often they're living alone
in an enclosure. They're subjected to all sorts of different procedures based on what research
protocol they're in. The mothers are extremely upset. You will see them following the vehicle.
Like if you put the calf into a car or into the back of a truck, you'll see the mothers chase after
it. They will cry out for their child. They are extremely upset. My name is Ryan and I have been
vegan since I turned 18 years old. As the host of The Vegan Report, I'm interested in meeting the
good people behind the global fight for animal welfare and shed light on their important work.
If you say you're a vegan, they're like, ah, okay, they're already kind of hands up. They don't
want to talk to you. And then if you're like animals, animals, animals, they tune you out.
And, and it should be like if you're from any political party, the other political party,
they say someone to hear you. Right? You say you're the other party. They don't want to hear you.
So I found that by using food or that kind of health benefits, it allows me to start a conversation.
That was the worry with biomedical research ended for chimps in the US. You know, the worry was,
well, what are they're going to come after monkeys next? It's like, yeah,
yeah, we are. It's going to be another long haul, but that's going to happen.
I never shy away from bold topics. And I'm always in the pursuit of offering grounded, passionate,
and inspiring conversations from my listeners, but always with a fair and compassionate attitude.
And I remember shooting it in the back of the head and it just, it really, really,
it really got to me because I was sitting there, you know, for many years saying, you know, I wanted
to help animals. I wanted to be, I really cared about animal husbandry. I really love these animals.
I always consider myself an animal lover. And yet here I am doing this. I don't want to contribute
this to this anymore. I don't want to give any more of my money to this, even, even if it's,
you know, dairy cows, chickens, backyard eggs, any of it. The vegan report is available on every
