Episode Details

Richard Ryder has been dubbed the father of animal rights in this country, coining the term 'speciesism' to describe our irrational approach to non-human animals. He has published a dozen books, including, most famously, Victims of Science, described in Parliament at the time as the best-informed reference book on animal experiments. As well as a number of other books on animal rights, he has written about history and psychology.

He spent an incredible 50 years as a trustee of the RSPCA.

Join us for a discussion with Richard Ryder about the ethics of animal exploitation, animal rights, and the future of the movement.
