Hey Pickles!

We hope this finds you well!

This week in our Y Files, where we tell stories of strange and unusual news in the world of animals & veganism, we look into a strange case of animal smuggling involving a Mexican border crossing and a Volkswagen Pissat.

In our Noteworthy segment, in an unsurprising move, Republicans mount fight against animal welfare laws in California.

Here's a link to the article we reference: https://rollcall.com/2025/07/23/republicans-ready-assault-on-california-animal-welfare-law/

And, in Our Main Topic, California is now being sued by the Trump administration over egg prices and what they are calling unnecessary animal cruelty legislation.

Here's a link to the article:

Our Featured restaurant in this week's Assignment Restaurant SOS is Buffalo's V Spot!

We'll tell you all about this vegan sports bar themed eatery, and we take look at their amazing menu!

We have a new Listener Shout Out, and plenty of our usual mayhem.

Thanks so much for listening to the show!

Much love, Sam & Christine
