Restrictions on protesting against animal experiments, more trials, and a CEO sees the light
Animal Rights: the Debate
The House of Lords has now approved Government changes to the Public Order Act, which will make it more difficult, if not impossible, to campaign effectively at research facilities that breed or use animals for research. Further trials have concluded in relation to the rescue of beagles from MBR acres, the focus of a long-running protest against animal experimentation. And we also discuss the remarkable change of heart of the CEO of the fur trade organisation, who has taken a dramatic step in turning his back on this most cruel of industries.

Just Be Kind - to your dogs and cats
Animal Rights: the Debate
Only a few years ago it would have seemed far-fetched to have considered that dogs and cats could be fed a healthy plant-based diet. However, Dr. Arielle Griffiths, a former vet, has shown just that, by creating a successful online business selling a wide range of nutritious and cruelty- free food for the nation's pets. We talk to Dr. Griffiths about what prompted her to reject traditional assumptions about how we should feed dogs and cats, and how we can make the world a better place.

Silencing Protest
Animal Rights: the Debate
Criminalizing protest is nothing new, but the animal rights movement is becoming more of a target. We talk to Dr. Liz Hicks of Melbourne University, who specialises in the law regarding animal rights and legal measures in Australia, the USA, and Europe, to restrict access to information and the right to protest.

Criminal Trials, Restrictions on Protest, and Good News for Some
Animal Rights: the Debate
Animals have the status of objects in law, and so a dog is the property of his/her owner. Surely then, breaking into the owner's premises and taking the owner's dog without consent must then constitute theft? Not necessarily so. At Cambridge Crown Court recently, a jury found that defendants had not acted dishonestly in removing [some might say rescuing] beagles from MBR, a breeding facility where the dogs would be used in medical research. We consider some of the legal issues arising out of the two trials that have taken place, each with a different outcome. We also discuss the...

A Strategy for Animal Welfare
Animal Rights: the Debate
A radical plan to improve the lives of animals, or empty promises that are bound to fail? We consider the U.K. Government's recently published Animal Welfare Strategy, which acknowledges the moral dimension of our relationship with other animals, and the ways in which it seeks to address current shortcomings.

Direct Action
Animal Rights: the Debate
Rescuing animals from factory farms and laboratories, openly, and inviting prosecution for such alleged 'crimes', is an effective tactic that has widespread support in the U.S.A. and in the U.K. We talk to Wayne Hsiung, a former law professor, who was instrumental in founding Direct Action Everywhere in the U.S., about the principle of direct action, how social change is achieved, and strategy for the future. He also co-founded The Simple Heart newsletter, which can be found at Donate here: https://ko-fi.com/animalrightsdebate Join the WhatsApp community:...
