  • Reminding You of Slaughterhouses. With Dr. Amy Fitzgerald | Ep. 39

    Reminding You of Slaughterhouses. With Dr. Amy Fitzgerald | Ep. 39

    There is one thing that Big Ag absolutely does not want us to talk about. And that is slaughterhouses. So let's talk about them, in depth, for this entire episode. Let's talk about why they are hidden, the harm they cause, not just to animals, but also human societies and the environment. And, most importantly, let's talk about how to close them down, for good. To discuss this topic, I have with me Dr. Amy Fitzgerald, a Professor & researcher at the University of Windsor. She has written multiple books such as: Animal Advocacy and Environmentalism: Understanding and Bridging the Divide https://www.amazon.ca/Animal-Advocacy-Environmentalism-Understanding-Movements-ebook/dp/B07M9C91XS Animals as Food: (Re)connecting production, processing, consumption and impacts https://www.amazon.ca/Animals-Food-connecting-Production-Consumption/dp/1611861748 Animal Abuse and Family Violence: Researching the Interrelationships of Abusive Power https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Abuse-Family-Violence-Interrelationships/dp/0773461892 And A Social History of the Slaughterhouse: From Inception to Contemporary Implications http://w.humanecologyreview.org/pastissues/her171/Fitzgerald.pdf Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganreportpodcast/ Music by Geoff Harvey from Pixabay

    Al-Ma‘arri: The World's First Vegan. With Dr. Kevin Blankinship | Ep. 37

    The first vegan who walked the earth was Abu l-'Ala' Al-Ma"arri أبو العلاء المعري In today's episode, I invite you to discover the extraordinary life of this genius who was thinking of animal ethics long before we were born. A Legend who I want to commemorate and from whom I want to draw insight and inspiration in our current fight for animal rights. To discuss this topic, I have with me Dr Kevin Blankinship, THE scholar on the life of Al-Ma'ari. He is a professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at Brigham Young University and is currently writing "Steal No More from Nature: Al-Maʿarrī and Animal Ethics in Classical Arabic Literature", a book I am looking forward to reading.
