Summary
Have you ever considered what it would mean if global religions echoed and supported our fight for animals? To explore this question, I have the honor of welcoming a true hero of the movement: Joyce D'Silva. Joyce has been vegan for 52 years—longer than I’ve been alive—and her contributions to animals are extraordinary. She wrote one of the first-ever vegan cookbooks, lead the adoption of major animal welfare legislation in the UK and Europe, and continues her work, to this day as Ambassador Emeritus for Compassion in World Farming and Patron of the Animal Interfaith Alliance. She is also the author of Animal Welfare in World Religion: Teaching and Practice . I highly recommend getting multiple copies —one for yourself and your enjoyment, and others to share with the religious leaders of your town. Beyond religion, Joyce and I discuss the nature of evil, the idea of publicly naming wealthy factory farm and slaughterhouse owners, the most surreal moment of her life, and much more.
