#LastWeekInVegan Chloe Fired From by CHLOE. For What?? & Esther The Wonder Pig Gets A TV Show!

Here we are for another #LastWeekInVegan!  I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by the first story today.  The way Chloe Coscarelli has been pushed out of by CHLOE. is a warning to all young entrepreneurs, and you best believe I heard it.  Have you been keeping up with the story?  I did some digging to piece it together, but there are still quite a few details that have been left out of the press.  I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on the whole situation!

The article is titled:

2nd on their list?  Ditch the meat.  They say: "This one may sting at first, but it’s the single biggest shift you can make.”  Bam!
3rd?  Switch to Cruelty-Free products.  They rep looking for the PETA bunny, Leaping bunny, or Vegan symbols.

Not bad Glamour, not bad.
