Faith, Justice, and Animal Liberation with Wayne Hsiung

Описание: In this powerful episode of Our Hen House, Mariann Sullivan welcomes back animal rights lawyer and activist Wayne Hsiung for a profound conversation about faith, justice, and animal liberation.

Wayne shares the shocking story of his wife, Rose Patterson of ‪@Animal.Rising‬, who faces potential prison time for rescuing beagles from MBR Acres and sheep from King Charles's farm in the UK. He reveals his unexpected journey into seminary studies and how religious frameworks might strengthen the animal rights movement.

The conversation explores the promising development of RFK Jr. publicly calling for an end to animal experimentation as Secretary of Health and Human Services, describing it as "useless" and profit-driven. Wayne offers insights on how building effective social movements requires institutional scaffolding that can sustain momentum during periods of change.

From Buddhist principles that view all life as miraculous to biblical passages supporting animal liberation, Wayne makes a compelling case for incorporating spiritual frameworks into animal advocacy. He shares his evolving theory that improving "movement intelligence" and cooperation between activists may be key to creating lasting change during this critical period of institutional crisis.

The discussion also touches on the ongoing situation with Ridglan Farms, where, despite acknowledgment of animal cruelty, beagles used in research remain in need of rescue and rehoming.
