Episode 18: Ronnie Lee on the importance of vegan education

This week on Always for Animal Rights, we heard Part Two of my interview with Ronnie Lee, founder of the Animal Liberation Front. (To listen to Part One of the interview, please check out Episode 16.)

In this episode, Ronnie outlines his strategy for what animal rights movement needs to do to work to end the oppression of nonhuman animals. This discussion especially focuses on the importance of local vegan education groups. Ronnie, who is the founder and an organizer of Wyre Forest Vegans, emphasizes the serious need for vegans to become activists and organizers. The success of the animal rights movement depends, to a significant extent, upon vegans educating the public to go vegan for animal rights.

After that, Ronnie explains how the current environmental crisis is caused by speciesism, and he answers my question about what he finds most rewarding about being an animal rights activist.

It's an interesting interview. I hope you'll listen to this week's show!

At the end of the show is the song "For the Innocent" by xTRUE NATUREx.
