Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 2020-10-15

This livestream was brought to you by The Animal Rights Show! Over the past six months or so, we have been trying to bring rights back to the animal movement.  However we have been met with several layers of resistance begging us to ask the question, is the idea of animal rights too complicated?  Here are the topics we covered:

0:00 Intro / is the concept of 'animal rights' too complicated?
3:55 Trying to inject rights into the animal movement (Start of group discussion)
9:22 Is the answer in our language? (And removing the welfarist undertones)
22:16 Thoughts on Steve Best's 'The Politics of Total Liberation'
28:25 Is the answer in reading more / translating key text to social media?
36:18 Is 'animal rights' being used more rhetorically / misused when it comes up?  
47:54 Is 'vegan' a scare word? (Issues with the underpinning philosophy of the movement)
51:56 Pros/cons of framing our conversations around 'animal use'
52:55 Relation ship between rights and welfare (treatment / use)

😃 ABOUT THE ANIMAL RIGHTS SHOW 😃 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
We often hear the term ‘animal rights,’ but what does it truly mean?    Are people referring to the genuine philosophy as framed by the originator of rights-based animal rights, Tom Regan, or are they referring to something else?  The Animal Rights Show intends to explore what animal rights truly means through regular Zoom calls exploring current and complex topics and how they relate to the philosophy of animal rights.
