When? 4 pm on Saturday 5 November 2016
We’ve all seen “Why love one but eat the other” images. Indeed, why do we love a puppy yet have no regrets when it comes to eating the calf? Then again…
Does setting the ideal in “loving” animals compromise nonhuman dignity? What can other social movements teach us about these idealized images?
Eric Nyman, owner of Wildflower Vegan Café, said, “Our business is nurturing bodies and minds. We’re excited to open November, which has traditionally been World Vegan Month, by offering space for Lee’s work on memes—inviting advocates and the public to consider how feel-good imagery might endorse exploitation.”
Event sponsored by Wildflower Vegan Café, and patrons of the art of animal liberation.

I’m glad to hear of this event and sorry I won’t be able to attend. It shouldn’t be a matter of loving animals. For one thing, love is largely involuntary. It’s a matter of respecting our fellow sentient beings, which entails behaving fairly and compassionately towards them (humans included!). Thanks for addressing it, Lee.
