Animal rights have long been at the center of philosophical, legal, and political debates. In this episode, journalist David Glaser and historian Véronique Stenger trace the history of efforts to protect animals, from the first laws of the 19th century to major international declarations.

From the recognition of animal suffering to the political controversies that have shaped this struggle, they explore the progress and resistance that have defined the movement. Special focus is given to Switzerland and Geneva, where key initiatives have emerged, notably through Franz Weber and the creation of the United Nations for Animals in 1980.

Through archival materials and testimonies, this episode highlights legal debates, ideological controversies, and landmark initiatives that have shaped the animal rights movement.
