  • Summary

  • Dr. Jeanette Gallagher welcomes attorney Kimberly Moore, author of The Case for the Legal Protection of Animals, Humanity’s Shared Destiny with the Animal Kingdom [Palgrave 2023], to explore the legal rights of animals.

    What is the quality of life that we wish to give to support the animals? What animals do you connect with; those who are for entertainment, food, survival, or those who we don’t even see who are part of the life cycle? Do animals have a long history of oppression and abuse? Are we on the brink of a global movement to start standing up for animals through our legal system?

    How have humans been caretaking animals and how have they been able to exist in the world? Who is protecting and regulating the non-human beings in this world?

    The humans and animals have been in this control thing for eons: push and pull, life and death, survival, security, domination, and subservience. Is it going to change and who is it up to? Who is protecting the animals and by what rules are they regulated by? Who is vested in care of animals and what is the rank of superiority that is bringing forth the questions we ask today?

    Are we controlling animals for our own existence? How do we view animals in the chain of existence?

    Are human fears the controlling factor of how we treat animals? What if what we believe through history and experience are the filters by which we regulate our story of animals? Are we fighting for our own preservation as it reflects in the animal kingdom and how we interact with them?

    What is the value of an animal? Who sets the value of an animal? Might a human not see another human as of value? Is the law of the land the controller who enforces the value of existence?
