ProtegoCast

ProtegoCast is an animal rights in the Wizarding World exploration podcast from the first, and only Harry Potter-inspired animal rights charity, the Protego Foundation! The Protego Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to ending the abuse of creatures in the muggle world using messages from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series. We strive to create a wizarding fandom that is more considerate of the rights, feelings, and treatment of all creatures regardless of species, size, or magical ability. In ProtegoCast, we will discuss animal rights messages in Wizarding World franchise, talk about our views on veganism and animal rights, and even host some very special magical guests!

In this week’s episode, Ali and Emma are joined by The Protego Foundation’s Founder and ProtegoCast Season 1 host, Tylor Starr, to discuss forms of “pest” control in the wizarding world and how we can advocate for safer, less harmful ways of deterring and removing animal visitors and little critters from our homes. Also in this episode: What is a “pest?” Recognizing the importance of language when it comes to how we portray animals Examples of “pest” control in the wizarding world and Muggle world Speciesism and “pest” control Unforeseen effects of “pest” control on biodiversity and other species (including humans) Non-lethal, sustainable, and animal-friendly ways of deterring and removing animal visitors / critters from our homes and spaces and into habitats which are safer and more suited to them!
