Are We Overcomplicating Animal Rights? (HHY6 Highlights)
Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 2021-02-04

Is species hierarchy holding us back?

In this highlights episode of The Animal Rights Show, I summarize a discussion Roger and I had Sunday about the framing of animal rights.  Specifically whether species hierarchy / line drawing is helpful or holding us back.

I also propose a solution which I think will simplify our message and increase the likelihood of others understanding and embracing the idea of animal rights.

Topics include: 
0:00 Introduction
1:08 Species hierarchy & alternatives (start of summary)
2:08 Alternative framing
2:54 Navigating 'gray areas'
3:50 Sentience, subject-of-a-life, (risk of overcomplicating)

5:09 Applying these ideas to our outreach
6:59 The risk of subjective (welfare) language
7:20 Science versus morality
8:14 Steel man technique

9:05 Is this worthy of a debate?
9:24 Bloopers
10:28 Closing thoughts

The Animal Rights Show explores complex topics through an animal-centric lens.  We focus on non-rhetorical animal rights as framed by the originator of these ideas, Tom Regan.
