Factory Farm Fallout: Ridglan, Rotten Litter, and Flies Bred By Your Tax Dollars | Rising Anxieties
2026/04/21
This week on Rising Anxieties, Mariann doesn’t let you look away — from the chaotic and heartbreaking Ridglan “rescue” that wasn’t, to a Yale study proving that just showing people a picture of a pig reduces meat orders by 22% (yes, really). Along the way, she covers a vegan vendor pushed out of Time Out Market for refusing to serve dairy,…

In this episode of The Hen Report, Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan cover a range of stories at the intersection of animal rights, activism, and culture.

When Animal Agriculture Sweats: Oregon, Bird Flu & Joyful Chickens | Rising Anxieties
2026/04/14
This week on Rising Anxieties, Mariann runs through a lineup of stories that have the animal agriculture industry sweating — from a ballot initiative that could make killing animals for food illegal in Oregon, to the egg board spending a cool million to get scrambled eggs into school cafeterias, to bird flu quietly turning dairy cows into a mammalian petri dish.…

Animal Rights Strategy in 2026: Why the Declaration of Independence Might Be the Answer | Rising Anxieties
2026/04/07
It’s Mariann’s 76th birthday, and instead of cake, she’s serving up a surprisingly coherent framework for moving the animal rights movement forward — one that borrows from the Founding Fathers, sidesteps the usual vegan vs. welfarist cage match, and lands on a deceptively simple idea: animals deserve the right to pursue happiness, starting with the right to raise their own young.…
Bruce Friedrich on the Future of Meat: Plant-Based, Cultivated, and the Race to Feed the World
2026/04/03

Alternative proteins are a global food security imperative,…
The Hen Report: “It’s Important, But It’s Hard” | Vegan Identity, Graphic Footage & Masculinity Politics
2026/04/02
In this episode of The Hen Report, Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan tackle three meaty topics: the psychological toll of watching graphic animal footage, the loaded politics of the word “vegan” (is it an identity, a type of food, a diet, or a moral theory?), and the bizarre cultural obsession with meat as a symbol of masculinity — from a Texas…
Ridglan, Cage-Free Eggs, and Dog Sled Delusion: Animal Abusers Having a Very Bad Week | Rising Anxieties
2026/03/31
Mariann Sullivan returns with another serving of industry-grade anxiety, covering everything from animal rights extremism accusations and the Trump administration’s failed egg lawsuit to cultivated meat bans, dairy farmers who think new brushes make up for everything, and a New York Times writer who is absolutely certain her sled dogs are volunteers. It’s a lot — but that’s kind of the…
Canada’s Live Horse Exports: Fighting for Animal Transport Law Enforcement w/ Camille Labchuk
2026/03/27
When Canadian animal rights lawyer and Animal Justice Executive Director Camille Labchuk discovered that a Manitoba horse exporter had shipped 97 horses to Japan in December 2022 — on a rerouted flight projected to exceed Canada’s 28-hour transport limit and without a legally required contingency plan covering the full journey — she did something almost unheard of in Canadian animal law:…
The Hen Report: “This Is It” | Inside the Ridglan Beagle Rescue
2026/03/26
In this episode of The Hen Report, Jasmin and Mariann are joined by open rescue pioneer Adam Durand to discuss the dramatic March 15th Ridglan Rescue — a coordinated action in which 100 activists descended on a Wisconsin beagle breeding facility supplying dogs to medical research labs, ultimately freeing 22 dogs despite reinforced doors, an aggressively blocking vehicle, and on-site arrests.…
Avian Flu, the Farm Bill, and Dairy Spin: The Animal Industry’s Anxiety Spiral Continues | Rising Anxieties
2026/03/24
This week on Rising Anxieties, Mariann digs into the messy, maddening world of animal agriculture — where trade economics trump bird lives, hunting bans aren’t actually hunting bans, a Wisconsin egg farm is trying to buy public wetlands to keep nature away from its chickens, and the dairy lobby is running a protein campaign that conveniently forgot soy milk exists. Avian…
