The Hen Report: “Hens before Mens” | Greenwashing Methane, Welfare Trade Wars, and Monkey Labor

Our Hen House 10 July 2025


Background
share close

In this delightfully chaotic episode of The Hen Report, Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan stumble through podcast identity confusion before diving into pressing animal rights news and media recommendations. The pair balance serious discussions about animal welfare trade policies and methane production with lighthearted moments about Jasmin’s new senior dog adoption and her “Hens Before Mens” t-shirt that sparks unexpected veganism conversations.

This episode explores:

  • How California’s misleading marketing of farm-generated methane as “environmentally friendly” is expanding nationwide, creating a dangerous climate policy loophole and a boon for dairy
  • Thailand’s coconut industry finally taking steps to address the use of monkey labor following international pressure
  • The UK’s struggle with animal welfare standards in international trade deals with Australia and the US
  • Why population decline panic isn’t based in science but rather in controlling ideologies
  • Mobile “green grocers on wheels” bringing fresh produce to food deserts in the UK
