Black Dogs Don’t Get Adopted – Linking Animal Rights and Human Rights by Nick Pendergrast by Progressive Podcast Aus published on 2015-12-06T04:00:46Z This talk looks at some connections between animal rights and human rights issues, using the fact that black dogs are less likely to be adopted as a starting point. It also covers Animal Rights Advocates, their approach to animal advocacy, and their Vegan Perth initiative, which gives practical advice on living vegan. The picture here is the ad encouraging people to adopt Charlie (who the pound called Wilson), which Nick referred to during the talk.
