Summary
⚠️ Note: This episode contains discussion of animal testing which may not be suitable for younger listeners.
This week, we’re joined by Animal Rising activists Rose Patterson and Nathan McGovern, who share the story behind the rescue of beagle puppies from MBR Acres in December 2022, and the court cases that followed.
It’s a powerful and emotional conversation about what they witnessed, why they took action, and what happened when they were put on trial.
Plus, Sean’s Good Morning Britain appearance doesn’t quite go to plan, Juniper has an unfortunate run-in with nettles, and Jack samples something he probably shouldn’t…
