When I started listening I thought you were going to discuss how we each need to be aware of our unconscious speciesism. That wasn't exactly the message, but I liked when you said that you TRY not to be speciesist. We have all been raised in such a pervasive culture of speciesism, and the issue is still only recognized by a few people. Most of the public would think that the very idea is a joke; an example of political correctness gone mad. But since learning of the abolitionist vegan movement and becoming vegan myself, I have had to confront my own thoughts of speciesism and examine my behavior to make sure that those thoughts don't lead to wrong action. For instance, when I see an animal that has been hit by a car, I am sad. But if it's a cat, I'll cry. Why should I feel worse about a cat than a squirrel? I can't help how I feel, but I can make sure my actions are not speciesist. Thanks for the podcast, and keep up the good work!
Ah yes it could have been a title suitable for such a topic, you are right. Yes, I can only try, we all can. We all try not to be racist, sexist, speciesist and all those awful things we are indoctrinated with. I think you put it very well when saying you can't help what you feel but can take responsibility for your actions. Thank you for leaving this comment and for listening :)
Hi this is the first flip book, this is the front cover - it has clear plastic covering it
First page of flipbook
I just got them to print out each one of the slides right from the beginning to the end and then make the book
All the photos print out nicely
Now everyone can make them - I will be making books of all the presentations - go to the video page at abolitionistapproach.com and download the pdfs. Thanks Randy!

Tabling. I carry this on the bus, it's very compact and portable!! I might start taking it to parties LOL
Up close and personal
You would be surprised what you can fit on a tiny fold up table
