Common Ground S1E1: The Language of Animal Rights
Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 2020-05-24

We brought together animal advocates from around the world to discuss complex topics.  We may not always agree, however through respectful solution-based dialogue we attempt to find common ground.

In this brand new format of the Animal Rights Show, we go through questions prompts to help spark discussion around the language of animal rights.  We explore language from strategic and rights-based perspectives as well as some ideas for how we can dismantle speciesism / human superiority.  We discuss our language around:

  1:21 Our fellow animals
  2:34 Non-vegans
  5:00 Animal use
17:07 Animal-centric framing (Responding to 'Are you vegan?')
18:40 What/who non-vegans buy
26:26 Other vegans
29:17 The movement
31:57 Non-vegan ideas
34:00 Dismantling speciesism
36:59 Re-claiming animal idioms
38:21 Dismantling ableism

We want to hear from you!  Let us know what you think in the comments and don't forget to share if you know others interested in these topics :)


😃 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 with Jeremy and Roger intends to explore what animal rights truly means through current and complex topics and how they relate to the philosophy of animal rights.  Here's a bit more about your co-hosts: (Who are part of an awesome team to make these shows happen)

Roger is sociologist who has campaigned for the rights of others since 1979. He has founded and supported more organizations than there is room to list here including being a former press officer for the ALF, and currently does regular street outreach through The Vegan Information Project as well as helping out at the local sanctuary. On top of all that, he may even have a sense of humor.

Jeremy has been vegan since 2014 and campaigning passionately to end animal use since 2017. His initial focus was around communication. He was inspired after reading The Case For Animal Rights by Tom Regan to focus his advocacy on the philosophy of animal rights. He does this by showing how all animals are unique individuals through his videos.  It's rumored when he's at animal sanctuaries he never wants to leave.
