This week, Mariann dives headfirst into the murky waters of the UK’s “Spycops Scandal,” where undercover officers infiltrated animal rights groups with tactics ranging from the questionable to the downright duplicitous. Then, brace yourself for Mariann’s special brand of eye-rolling commentary on the self-congratulatory bubble of animal agriculture, where farming isn’t just a job but apparently a divine calling passed down through generations of people who think they invented hard work. Because nothing says “perspective” quite like turning sentient beings into commodities while patting yourself on the back.

This episode explores:

The UK’s “Spycops Scandal” where police officers infiltrated animal rights groups, including one who fabricated a gun plot against activists
How one undercover officer ended up genuinely falling for and marrying the animal rights activist she was investigating
The problematic culture of animal agriculture that indoctrinates children from birth and portrays farming as a superior way of life
The Non-Human Rights Project’s ongoing legal battle to have elephants recognized as legal persons, facing opposition from hunting and “conservation” interests
How animal rights arguments often face resistance because acknowledging the rights of one animal logically extends to all animals
