Episode 69: Vegan animal rights music and quotes

Go vegan! Art by the vegan artist, Jo Frederiks.

For this week’s episode, I’ve decided to do something a little different. Instead of an interview, we’ll be listening to a variety of songs about veganism and animal rights. I've also included an assortment of thought-provoking quotes by historical and modern-day animal advocates, including Leo Tolstoy, Donald Watson, Tom Regan, Sandra Higgins, Gary Francione, and Will Tuttle.

The following songs can be heard on this episode:

• "My Innocence Begins Today" by Alex Arndt & the Sonic Universe
• "The Voiceless" by Tonya G.
• "The Man in the ALF Shirt" by Jennifer Faust, the Vegan Songstress
• "Sixth Commandment" by Dr. Aryan Tavakkoli
• "The Call of Justice" by Tribunal Animal
• "Just Like Us" by Vegan Queen V
• "Alive!" by Dr. Will Tuttle

It was a lot of work to put together this episode, but I'm glad that I did. I invite you to share it with anyone who needs a reminder of why they are vegan or anyone who could use some inspiration to become vegan.

Becoming vegan, encouraging others to go vegan, and speaking up for animals' fundamental rights is the only way that we can achieve a world in which we live in peace with our fellow sentient beings, a world in which animal exploitation has been abolished. The choices that we make, as individuals, matter. Never ever doubt your ability to make a difference!

Carolyn, the host of Always for Animal Rights

Episode 68: Singer-songwriter Vegan Queen V speaks about her vegan Christmas music and her upcoming animal rights album

This week, I am pleased to present my second interview with the vegan singer-songwriter Vegan Queen V, also known as Jen Armstrong. The first time I interviewed Queen V was in 2019, for Episode 10 of my show. Queen V, who lives in the UK, creates songs that advocate for veganism and against animal exploitation.

In this interview, Queen V and I discuss her vegan Christmas songs, “Cruel World” and “Have Yourself a Merry Vegan Christmas”, as well as a song about ethics titled “Who Made You God”. Queen V also tells me about her upcoming animal rights music album and how being vegan has changed her life.

We'll hear all of the aforementioned songs on this episode, and we'll close the show with the song "Just Like Us".

It was fantastic to speak with Queen V again on the show!
