Dessert is the final frontier for many vegans who tend to settle for vegan "ice cream" in a pinch. But Chef Philip Khoury of Harrods in London says your favorite desserts can be transformed easily into vegan. It just takes some "re-imagining."

Khoury has written "A New Way to Bake: Re-imagined Recipes for Plant-Based Bakes, Cakes and Desserts." He talks about how he switched from corporate life to baking; how he became vegan; his experience selling vegan desserts at Harrads; and, he shares some of his favorite recipes from the book. With host Emil Guillermo.

The book is available wherever books are sold.

De-clawing is no manicure, it's big-cat mutilation. Yet despite general condemnation, some animal exhibits like tiger cub photo op encounters still de-claw animals. 

Now, after PETA sued a vet, Rick Pelphrey, and a show runner, Tim Stark, a breakthrough.

Last week in Indiana, a judge created a legal precedent that makes de-clawing a violation of the Endangered Species Act. 

PETA's Brittany Peet says it should have the effect of stopping declawing.

Animal experimenters like Harvard's Margaret Livingstone continue to spend your tax dollars on useless tests that only end up torturing and killing animals. Dr. Katherine Roe, a former NIH researcher and now chief scientist for PETA's Laboratory Investigations Department, discusses how researchers like Livingstone build a career on cruelty masquerading as curiosity, including her latest strobe tests with monkeys. Roe talks about her own career and how others fall into the "science" trap in this conversation with Emil Guillermo.

PETA veterinarian Dr. Heather Rally speaks with host Emil Guillermo about how she toured rabbit farms in China with fashion execs. What they saw was jaw-dropping cruelty to the animals who were used to source the clothing firms angora garments. The tour opened the eyes of the execs who changed their policy. But the supplier/farms continue to do business with other companies who look the other way and use the rabbits to make angora clothing.

Don't condone the cruelty. Take action now.

Listen to Dr. Rally's eyewitness account. Then see for yourselves. 

Look at the PETA Reveals video on PETA.org.

Go to PETA.org for more information.

Tell companies to stop using angora. And as a consumer, use your power and don't buy angora products.

You have a choice this winter.

The animals don't.

Wayne Hsiung was released on December 9, 2023 after serving a sentence of 38 days in a Sonoma County (Calif.) jail for trying to free animals from the cruelty of factory farms. I talked to Wayne as he prepared for the trial earlier in the year. He was optimistic, considering he had just beaten the attempts in Utah to convict him on similar charges. As we recount 2023, we reprise my conversation with Wayne in this encore podcast presentation.

Amber Canavan of PETA campaigns talks with host Emil Guillermo about California's Prop. 12, approved by voters on election day with more than 60 percent of the vote. But while Prop. 12 appears to set a minimum standard for space for animals in factory farms, it doesn't rule out abuse and cruelty for animals raised for food.

Canavan talks about what could have made a stronger Prop. 12 and how its minimum space provisions won't end cramped quarters for the animals.

And it doesn't end cruelty. 

You can vote every day for the animals every time you have a meal--if you go vegan.
