World Week for Animals in Laboratories
and the Spiritual Mandate to Compassion
On today's show we take a closer look at the outdated and cruel industry of vivisection, as Dr. Elliot Katz of In Defense of Animals explains the global observation of World Week for Animals in Laboratories.
We'll also investigate the opportunities for outreach to faith-based communities in bringing the message of animal compassion into houses of worship, and learn of the ongoing hunger relief efforts the International Vegetarian Relief Charity, Food for Life here in Houston.

1. WWAIL week is always tough for me.

I live in a college town with a shitty animal lab program I've never been able to get access to. And hanging banners from a Bruce B. Downs Blvd's footbridge will never be enough for me.

Dr. Katz on the other hand has been a hero of mine for a very long time. He and Capt. Paul Watson are my "meet them before you die" folks.

2. Hanging banners is something, though.

You never know where the ripples will reach. And you do plenty of other things for animals.

[flvegan]

3. I most certainly agree.

I just loathe the place intensely, and I think I feel worse considering I went to school there. I think rather than saying "will never be enough for me" I should have said "if I were to participate, I'd probably wind up in jail" to be accurate.

Living Among Meat Eaters

The toll meat eating takes on humans, animals and the planet
Today feminist-vegetarian theorist and author, Carol J. Adams guides us in dealing with the issues that arise when vegetarian and meat eating worlds collide and she will also comment on interlocking oppressions. Alfredo Kuba, the first ever recipient of the PETA "Cesar Chavez Si Se Puede" Award, explains how our corporate diet of death exploits both humans and animals. May 1st, International Workers' Day, commemorates the historic struggle of working people. Slaughterhouse workers are the most exploited and have the most dangerous and horrible jobs in the world.
Why we should all care and what we can do.

Today's Guests


Carol J. Adams
Carol J. Adams is the author of the landmark book The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory and The Pornography of Meat. Besides advancing scholarship and developing theory in the area of interlocking oppressions, Carol has created a series of books that address the vegetarian/vegan experience: Living Among Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian Survival Guide, Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat! and The Inner Art of Vegetarianism and Meditations on the Inner Art of Vegetarianism.
How to Eat like a Vegetarian Even If You Never Want to Be One
More than 250 Shortcuts, Strategies, and Simple Solutions
Carol lives outside Dallas, Texas.

Meat Eaters postpone becoming vegetarians because they think change is hard. Not changing is even harder. They just haven't discovered this yet.
~Carol Adams

Living Among Meat Eaters, is a survival guide for vegetarians. People who haven't restored the absent referent (i.e., people who still eat dead animals) must deal with many feelings when they are reminded of what they are doing. Carol proposes that vegetarians and vegans should view meat eaters as blocked vegetarians. Just by being a vegetarian you remind meat eaters that they are blocked. Living Among Meat Eaters provides suggestions for talking, eating, living with and cooking for meat eaters.
Michael Gregor M.D., in a review for Vegan Outreach wrote, "Ten years in the making, Living among Meat Eaters is a truly monumental work....Our movement sadly lacks theorists. Carol Adams is one of our brilliant exceptions....Living among Meat Eaters is frankly entertaining - in some parts literally laugh-out-loud funny. This is the book we've been waiting for to finally make sense of all the hostility."

And


Alfredo Kuba
PETA "Cesar Chavez Si Se Puede Award" Recipient
Alfredo Kuba, was born in Guatemala in 1957, came to the United States in 1978 and settled down in the Bay of San Francisco. His activism in animal rights began in 1995 when he attended a conference in the University of Berkeley, in California, of Dr. Michael Klaper on the occasion of Earth Day. That day he became vegan after learning of the suffering of animals.

Racism, sexism, speciesism, they are all the same! MAKE THE CONNECTION!
~Alfredo Kuba

In Memoriam of Virgil Butler
Tyson Slaughterhouse Worker Turned Whistle Blower
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cra55ly_CsA
Illnesses, injuries and even deaths at slaughterhouses are shockingly routine. What’s even more shocking? If you eat meat, you are funding the daily exploitation of these workers....Even if you aren’t sympathetic to the plight of workers or animals, consider this: The same uncaring system that allows workers to be exposed to a toxic mist of animals’ brains and animals to be scalded alive also allows carcasses contaminated with feces and vomit, tapeworms and abscesses, to be sent down the line. The meat industry is not going to change, but we can: It’s time to leave the broken bodies of animals off our plates and go vegetarian.
~Lindsay Rajt the assistant manager of vegan campaigns for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
