Summary: Welcome to the 296th episode of Our Hen House, featuring Che Green from <a href="https://faunalytics.org/" target="_blank">Faunalytics</a>, an update from activist <a href="https://www.facebook.com/supportforamber?fref=ts" target="_blank">Amber Canavan</a>, and a discussion about cats — in honor of National Pet Memorial Day — with <a href="https://chickpeasandchange.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Alessandra Seiter</a>. As always, the Our Hen House podcast is co-hosted by us — <a href="http://www.jasminsinger.com/" target="_blank">Jasmin Singer</a> and Mariann Sullivan.<br> On today’s episode, we squawk about the veganization of New Jersey, the relaunch of <a href="http://woodstocksanctuary.org/" target="_blank">Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary</a>, and when non-vegans want to make vegans look bad. There’s tons of “Rising Anxieties” (aaaaaahhhhh!) today, too.<br> Joining us for Episode 296 (egad! 296!) is Che Green from <a href="https://faunalytics.org/" target="_blank">Faunalytics</a> (formerly the Humane Research Council), who will discuss the work of his organization, which provides the world’s largest library of opinion and behavior research about animals.<br> Activist <a href="https://www.facebook.com/supportforamber?fref=ts" target="_blank">Amber Canavan</a> will join us too, for a much anticipated update. Amber was recently released from Sullivan County Jail, where she was serving a sentence related to her rescue of two ducks from Hudson Valley Foie Gras.<br> We’ll also be joined again today by Alessandra Seiter, of the blog <a href="https://chickpeasandchange.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Chickpeas & Change</a>. We’ll be talking with Alessandra all about cats — and how they have helped shape our personal attitudes about animal rights — all in honor of <a href="https://www.iccfa.com/national-pet-memorial-day" target="_blank">National Pet Memorial Day</a>.<br> All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights.
