We discuss the cruelty investigation that occurred at the Hallmark dairy slaughterhouse, which generated massive media attention. The investigation led to a record 143 million pound beef recall, and a Congressional subpoena issued to [...]...

Matadors and Marshmallows
Once again, an interview-free but news-heavy Monday podcast. Michael Vick is now in a place where he poses zero threat to dogs. Every year, the Presidential turkey pardon misleads the public about the turkey industry and the health of the birds they breed. I slam a corrupt new milk law [...]...
