Professor Delcianna Winders - Animal Advocacy, Restorative Justice and The Law on ”Why Do Pets Matter?” hosted by Debra Hamilton EP 197

During this episode of "Why Do Pets Matter?" Professor Delcianna Winders speaks with us about the incredible work she is doing in the world of animal advocacy and animal law.    Pets matter because they are sentient beings — and other animals, including billions of animals suffering on factory farms with inadequate legal protections, matter for the same reason.  Human, animal, and environmental interests are intertwined.
