Welcome! I’m Nicole Arciello

I’m an 🐾 animal activist, 🌱 vegan, 🎙️ podcast host, 🐎 executive director of Horseracing Wrongs, and 👩‍🍳 former vegan chef — all driven by my love for animals and commitment to a cruelty-free world.

My Substack is a companion to my podcast In Behalf of Animals, where we explore how to rethink our relationship with animals and highlight those working every day to liberate them.

Here, you’ll find:

• 📰 Companion articles expanding on each podcast episode

• 🐾 Ways to help animals and get involved in advocacy

• 🐎 Insights into animal issues, from horseracing to everyday cruelty we can help end

• 🌱 Recipes and reflections that celebrate compassionate living

Whether you’re already active in the movement or just beginning to explore a cruelty-free lifestyle, this space is here to educate, inspire, and empower you to take meaningful action for animals. Together, we’ll raise our voices and make real, lasting change for the animals!
