Welcome to rising anxieties.

This is the podcast that I do every week where I talk about what's wearing the animal ag industry because, or as they prefer to call it, but I forgot, the animal abuse industry.

And what's worrying me, is a very very big topic

i try to keep that i try to limit that probably some of which is worrying you hopefully not

as many things as worry me because you know that's what i do uh all right so don't forget we're a podcast

and we're on youtube please subscribe and hit like wherever you listen.

And let's get into it. Let's take a look.

Our first story is from our favorite, our favorite commentator, Hannah Thompson, Weiman.

It's on meetingplace.com.

Navigating activism, what 2025 taught us and what 2026 will demand she's worried about you

happy to tell you all right as 2025 comes to a close she says it's clear that the pressures

facing animal agriculture did not simply continue this year they intensified, you might be thinking she's talking about bird flu, other diseases, tariffs,

all sorts of possible things, you know, the environmental destruction that they're causing,

just all sorts of stuff, how perhaps their influence with the government is not as

secure as they used to be?

No, she's talking about you.

From escalating activist funding to evolving legal strategies and increasingly coordinated

pressure campaigns, the landscape grew more complex by the month.

You know, it's just always so nice to hear how much she's worried about us.

Because sometimes I don't think we're getting anywhere.

And then I read these kind of things and I think, oh, yeah, we're making a difference.

All right, many people associate animal rights activism, she says, with dietary persuasion or campus protests.
