ARZone Podcast Number 4

In this podcast, the ARZone team provide a tour around the Animal Rights Zone (ARZone) website, explaining it uses and features and then they discuss an ARZone guest answer by Animal Equality's Jose Valle about a particular style of demonstration made popular in Spain when animal advocates quietly and respectfully hold the dead bodies of the nonhuman animals they have found on Spanish farms, making the usually invisible visible again.

ARZone Podcast Number 5

This is our first podcast with a former ARZone "chat" guest. We are very pleased to have Dr. Will Tuttle, author of The World Peace Diet, as our first podcast interviewee.

Dr. Tuttle talks about his appearance at the 2011 Vegetarian Summer Fest in the USA (yes, we do ask him why it is not known as the Vegan Summer Fest), and issues raised in his book The World Peace Diet, including a wonderful story of his encounter with a free-living elk.

***********

ARZone Podcast Number 6

This time the ARZone team explore the difficult and complex issue about whether human beings should interfere in the lives of other animals - indeed, should we, as philosopher David Pearce suggests, micro-manage every part of the planet in the name of compassion and in order to prevent pain anywhere and everywhere?

 

ARZone Podcast Number 7

ARZone's special guest for PC7 is Ronnie "The General" Lee, longtime British animal protectionist, co-founder of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), and ethical vegan since 1971.

Ronnie provides ARZone Podcast listeners with an action-packed trip down memory lane as well as a powerful thought-provoking vision for a radical vegan future in which humanity returns to inhabiting the Earth rather than "occupying" the globe as a "dominating, tyrannical, force."

See what you think of Ronnie's ideas about human supremacy, arson, single-issue campaigning, scrapping the private car and mechanised farming, the world population, vegan festivals, violence, and a dog who is thin and brown.

ARZone Podcast Number 8

This time the ARZone team of Carolyn Bailey, Barbara DeGrande, Tim Gier, and Roger Yates are joined by "wildlife rehabilitator" Emma Kaczmarczyk to talk about the rehabilitation of "wildlife" and, in particular, the ethics of feeding flesh or other animal products to the recovering animals and birds.

What to do about - or with - free-living beings is far from a settled issue in terms of animal rights thought and practice.

***********

 

ARZone Podcast Number 9

This time the ARZone team explore the ideology of speciesism and The Big C - Capitalism. Using themes from Professor David Nibert's "entanglements thesis," should we understand speciesism as rather more than simply a prejudice held by indviduals? To what extent is capitalism a major structural impediment to the liberation of all human and other animals? Can we see a vegan capitalist future - or do we have to become anti-capitalists to be animal liberationists?

ARZone Podcast Number 12

The reasons that people live vegan vary. For some, like the founders of the English Vegan Society, it was a matter of ethics; for others, it is health; for others still, environmental issues. Some may go vegan for all of these reasons combined.

Furthermore, what of the process of becoming a vegan? What "route" do people take? Whattriggers their veganism: is it the culmination of a whole series of striking - or mundane - events stretched out over months or even years? Does it happen suddenly (upon hearing an ARZone podcast perhaps)? What are the "catalytic experiences" as one researcher put it?

Building on recent Veganacious and Coexisting With Nonhuman Animals podcasts, the ARZone team look again at vegan education - this time vegan education in schools and in relation to teaching young children about how society uses other animals.

ARZone podcast host, Carolyn Bailey, experienced a thunderstorm during the recording. This accounts for the abrupt ending, and that some of the sound is poor and fragmented towards the end of the podcast.
