56 Islam x Animal Welfare

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating intersection of Islam and animal welfare, exploring the deep-rooted spiritual and ethical teachings that emphasize compassion for all living beings. Join Gemma Ali and me as we discuss how Islamic principles guide humane treatment of animals, from the Quran to the Hadiths, and how these values shape modern perspectives on ethical farming and slaughtering, animal testing and even wildlife conservation. Gemma has an educational background and a wealth of experience in Livestock Science and Animal Welfare. Her doctoral research is focused on furthering the understanding and implementation of animal welfare standards within the Halal industry. She has founded the Halal Animal Welfare Association, which represents her commitment to bridging the gap between traditional farming practices, contemporary animal welfare principles and Islam. Whether you're passionate about animal rights or curious about faith-based ethics, this conversation reveals a compassionate vision for non-human animals inspired by centuries of Islamic wisdom.
