Beyond Human Rights: The Moral Blind Spot

The podcast is a discussion that focuses on the human rights movement and its complete disregard for animal suffering, along with how the movement actively contributes to that suffering. The discussion also aims to pull in uncomfortable topics concerning the situation between Israel and Palestine. A core theme is that advocates on both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict continue to abuse animals and create suffering on a scale that should compel them to reassess their moral compasses. The underlying premise of the podcast suggests that if people who are demanding peace and justice are blind to the torture they inflict on animals, the entire moral framework needs to be questioned.
