Going to Prison For the Animals (ft. Joseph Buddenberg)
Former political prisoner, Joseph Buddenberg joins us today to talk about animal rights activism in the underground Animal Liberation Front.
In this episode, Joseph shares his story of going vegan 20+ years ago after being expose to the vegan message through the punk rock scene. Shortly after seeing the horrific abuse in the meat, dairy, egg, vivisection and fur industries he became a hardcore liberation activist where he dedicated his life to animal liberation.
In 2016 Joseph went to prison for liberating over 6,000 mink from fur farms. He shares his experience in prison where he was locked in solitary confinement for days at a time surviving off of oats and bananas.
Joseph was released from prison in 2018 and he is still extremely active in his efforts to end suffering for animals. It was an honor to have him on the podcast... He is a true hero and inspiration. Hope you enjoy this episode.
