by Institute for Critical Animal Studies

Winnipeg EventICAS intern and doctoral student Sarah Bezan organized an inter-disciplinary open-dialogue discussion forum at the University of Winnipeg concerning the use of animals as food. Sarah reports: “[The event was] a great success, and a number of people mentioned to me that the event broke the barrier between [so-called] ‘food animal’ producers and their critics, leading to a meaningful and productive dialogue about the ethical relationship between [nonhuman] animals and humans.”
