Ep.XVI | activism | building a culture of civil resistance | with Daniel Kidby (cofounder of Animal Rising)

  • Summary

  • On the 15th April 2023 the Grand National, an annual horse racing event, took place at Aintree Racecourse in the UK. Animal Rising attracted a lot of media attention for storming the tracks to prevent these races from happening. I recently spoke with Dan, the cofounder of Animal Rising, to find out why he thinks this is the most important thing to be doing with his time, why a British tradition should be stopped, and whether radical activism is the answer.

    We also talk about the environmental and ecological collapse of the home we live in, how the answer to the worlds problems lies behind our dietary choices, and how changing a lot of peoples minds is easier than changing the mind of just one person.

    Thanks to Dan, and to Animal Rising, and thanks for listening.

    "We’ve created a national conversation that’s led to millions of people reassessing whether they agree with horse racing for the first time in their lives."
