In this episode of The Hen Report, Jimmy Videle joins the hens to discuss veganic farming at his Québec farm where he grows food without animal inputs, introduces his new book “Preserving Our Sacred Lands,” and shares details about the upcoming Veganic Summit (November 7-9).

- Jimmy’s naturalist work and efforts to protect biodiversity through his writing and land conservation
- Zoe Rosenberg’s trial and the legal questions surrounding animal rescue from cruelty and death
