Viva Voce

Daniel talks about animal rights law with Sophie Gaillard, practicing attorney and Animal Advocacy Director at the SPCA Montreal. The morality of farming practices, eating animals, cruelty and the horror of castrating pigs without pain control are discussed. Sophie shares her journey and the ridicule she and her allies have had to overcome to bring these issues to the fore. Daniel rethinks his assumptions and offers his cashmere jacket for penance. Sexual politics come up too. Witness a serious, painful, emotional (and sometimes funny!) conversation about a topic that cuts to the bone of what it means to live in a humane society.
