Great podcast Elizabeth! I'm glad you see the value of asking a series of questions of people who approach your stall rather than just answer a list of questions ~from~ them.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of social values, it is good when people verbally articulate what they believe. In terms of animal use, it is when people talk about their socialised values that the contradictions emerge.

Yes it's taken me a while but I am finally getting there! lol. Thanks for the insight and comment about how people talk with each other, reaffirming the speciesism, it is very helpful, I think you are absolutely right
ReplyDeleteI love this shirtless dancing guy video! Profound!
