Louise paints a colourful picture (including a garlic devotee supply teacher and a hair raising experience at the Boar's Head pub) of her path to becoming vegan and an animal rights activist. From her innate connection to other animals as a child, to her entry into radical activism as a teenager.
We pass through tales of a laboratory raid that led to Louise's arrest, and how her letters to imprisoned animal rights activist and founder of the ALF, Ronnie Lee, were the start of a budding romance.
Louise tells us of the inspiration behind the launch of Greyhound Action, whose campaigns have played an important part in the dismantling of the dog racing industry in the UK.
We explore the value of single issue campaigns, the importance of a consistent anti-speciesist message, and closing the gap between animal rights, environmental and other social justice movements.
