How Far Is Too Far When It Comes to Animal Advocacy? | Episode 55

Описание: How far is too far when it comes to animal advocacy? In this episode of the Animal Wellness Podcast, two veteran activists with somewhat different approaches discuss the best tactics to effect change for animals.



Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action (http://www.animalwellnessaction.org/) and the Center for a Humane Economy (http://www.centerforahumaneeconomy.org/) , often works quietly and behind the scenes, nudging the levers of government and commerce to create improvements. The author of two New York Times bestsellers on animals believes in applying reason and the appeals of logic and decency to convert those who put or leave animals in harm’s way.



Donny Moss, however, is just as apt to use a bullhorn as a keyboard. The founder of Their Turn (http://www.theirturn.net/) is known for taking the battle to the streets, using video, social media and in-person confrontation to put pressure on businesses, consumers and even corporate board members to change minds.



The two review their successful collaboration on the Kangaroos Are Not Shoes campaign, which recently has had major wins in the fight to convince Nike, Puma and Diadora to stop selling soccer cleats made from the skins of murdered kangaroos. The campaign is now targeting hold-outs Adidas and New Balance. You can sign the petition here (https://secure.everyaction.com/bwqH-3...) .



The Animal Wellness Podcast is produced by Animal Wellness Action (http://www.animalwellnessaction.org/) and the Center for a Humane Economy (http://www.centerforahumaneeconomy.org/) . It focuses on improving the lives of animals in the United States and abroad through legislation and influencing businesses to create a more humane economy. The show is hosted by veteran journalist and animal-advocate Joseph Grove (  / josephgrove  ) . Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify and Podbean offer subscriptions to the show.
