Animalogy: Change your language. Change the world. | Colleen Patrick-Goudreau | TEDxDupreePark

Описание: As a lover of language and an advocate for animals, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau discovered hundreds of words, idioms, metaphors, proverbs, everyday expressions — even letters of the alphabet — that have animals hidden within. These “animalogies” reflect how deeply connected we are to animals but also how disdainfully we regard them. This thought-provoking and language-altering talk will forever change the way you talk and think about animals — both human and non-human. Changing the way we talk about animals might not change animals, but it might just change the world.

Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is an animal advocate, podcaster, and bestselling author on the ethical, social, and culinary aspects of living compassionately and healthfully.
