S2 Ep3: The Argument for Animal Rights Laws

from Animal Rights Tour · host The Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law

This episode outlines three reasons to support granting rights to animals: their intrinsic value as living beings, their sentience and capacity to suffer, and the importance of kindness to animals for maintaining our moral character and a humane society. It also touches on further resources for deeper exploration and previews the next episode about an elephant named Happy at the Bronx Zoo and a court case about animal rights. Animal Rights Tour is written by Sean Butler, hosted by Carly McCann, and fact-checked by Paulina Siemieniec. This podcast is produced by the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law, an academic centre of competence dedicated to the study of fundamental rights for non-human animals and based in Cambridge, UK.
