What if I told you that the best way to fight for animals was for animal advocates to open and run a factory farm? You heard me right. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, yet this is far from a joke. This is a very serious unfolding plan backed by millions of dollars in funding. And this will have dire implications for our entire movement.

To discuss this topic, I have with me Sam Tucker-Davis. Sam is a longtime animal rights activist, entrepreneur, and technologist from New Zealand. He has worked in animal advocacy for more than two decades. He notably founded Open Paws, a nonprofit that developed AI tools for more than 100 animal advocacy organizations. Today, he is developing GaryOS, an AI system designed to give individual activists the capacity to operate at the scale of a large organization. He is also the author behind the Substack Collectively Gary.

We discussed the psychological, economic, and ideological reasons explaining why animal advocates would operate a factory farm, the possibility that this is all a scheme for AI companies to infiltrate Big Meat, how some donors in our movement are funding experiments to make animals insensitive to pain, how high-tech like AI will be used to make factory farming even more lucrative, how the meaning of labels like vegan and animal rights activist might shift in the future, and much more.

In this episode, we're shining a light on something that doesn't get nearly enough attention: veganism and animal rights activism across the African continent.

Let me ask you something: could you name even one animal rights or vegan activist working in Africa? Or name one African animal rights organization?

If not, don't worry—because that's about to change.

Today, you're going to meet Majeed Suhuyini, the founder of Vegan Africa News, an amazing initiative dedicated to covering vegan news from across the continent, from food and culture to animal advocacy and activism.

We talked about the recent Animal and Vegan Advocacy Summit in Ghana, what it's really like to be vegan within different African cultures, the latest Supreme Court developments in the case concerning dog and cat meat consumption, and so much more.
