In this episode of VeganSci, we update you with some Science, including: the description of a new category of meat justification which includes ‘Neutralising’ to Normal, Necessary, Natural and Nice, we highlight one example of the often overlooked subtle negative impacts humans have on other animals, share research that suggests social factors may be more important at predicting whether a dog is rejected by their ‘carer’ rather than the common excuse of the dog having bad behaviour. We speak with a researcher from the USA who shares the results of an research review they conducted into The Psychology of Cows. You can find links to all of the research we discussed in the episode notes at vegansci.com/podcast. You can listen to this episode above or by subscribing to the podcast on Itunes or Stitcher.
