Listen "Saaving The Streets - Episode 12 Rescued Rabbits and Commodifying Animals Under Capitalism"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we speak with Elliot Gold, the co-founder of The Hoppy Acre, a rabbit rescue and non-speciesist sanctuary in Essex, UK. Elliot dives deep into the world of rabbit health and well-being, laying out the reasons why these not-quite-wild/not-quite-domesticated creatures need rescue. From bunny “speed dating” to find their perfect bonded rabbit partner, to high-quality spay/neuter and veterinary care, today’s rabbits are sensitive creatures requiring top-quality care and rigorous research. Elliot describes the realities of the pet and breeding industries on rabbits and illustrates how these creatures - and all animals - will always suffer through commodification of their lives under capitalism.EPISODE NOTES: Rescued Rabbits and Commodifying Animals Under CapitalismBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/saaving-the-streets-a-global-tnr-podcast-pet-life-radio-original--6669413/support.
