Animals — Us and them? How does loving animals go together with industrial farming?

from Big Ideas · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Humans have a conflicted relationship with animals: We love our pets and admire our wildlife. But we continue the industrial production of dairy, meat and eggs, that often leaves animal suffering in dreadful conditions. We create a division between US and THEM, if it suits us. What does that say about how we value animals in our lives?Presented at the Byron Writers FestivalSpeakersPeter SingerBioethicist and author of Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, and The Buddhist and the EthicistFounder of the charity The Life You Can Save and co-hosts of the Lives Well Lived podcastJames BradleyAward-winning author of Deep Water: The World in the OceanLaura Jean McKayAward-winning author of The Animals in That Country and GunflowerDr David RolandClinical psychologist and honorary associate with the School of Medicine, University of Sydney
