About this listen

This episode introduces the debate over giving animals legal rights, explaining why most people never questioned using animals for food or research and why animal welfare rules don’t go far enough.

Carly outlines common objections — cultural tradition, nutritional and medical arguments, claimed differences between humans and animals — and previews the next episode, which will present arguments in favour of 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. Learn more about the Centre at animalrightslaw.org.
