Jeff Perz, M.A. ~ This weekend's Live Guest Chat in ARZone.

[Carolyn Bailey]

ARZone is proud to present Jeff Perz, M.A. as this weekend's Live Guest Chat.

Jeff Perz is a Canadian animal rights philosopher and activist living in Australia. His activism has involved the use of portable audio-visual kiosks placed on the streets. In this way, Perz has shown the public video images of
non-human animals being exploited and killed for human consumption while simultaneously presenting rational arguments for animal rights and a vegan lifestyle from an abolitionist perspective. 

He received his Master’s degree in philosophy from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His Master’s thesis is entitled Core Self-Awareness and Personhood and argues that all self-aware beings are moral persons and ought to be legal persons. 

Jeff has written the following articles:
