Talk - Challenging Violence
If we look at Switzerland from the animals’ perspective, things look bleak – at least for the vast majority, the 76.5 million animals per year who die in the country’s abattoirs. Why has the Swiss animal movement not been more successful in combating this normalized violence? And how could it do so in the future? That is the issue ethicist Nico Müller (University of Basel) addresses in his talk.
