In this exclusive interview with Christopher Sebastian we explore the challenges of intersectionality and how it relates to the Animal Rights Movement. Intersectionality claims that various forms of oppression such as class, race, sexual orientation, disability and gender, do not exist separately from each other but are actually tied together.
Christopher-Sebastian is a staff writer at Vegan Publishers, part-time lecturer on speciesism at Columbia University, and social media manager of Peace Advocacy Network. He focuses on examining how speciesism exacerbates anti-black racism, queer antagonism and classism throughout western society. His work has appeared in the anthology Circles of Compassion: Connecting Issues of Justice edited by Dr. Will Tuttle, Dr. Breeze Harper’s Sistah Vegan Project, UK-based Barefoot Vegan magazine, and on Striving With Systems in collaboration with Brenda Sanders (PEP Foods), Charlotte Eure and Triangle Chance for All microsanctuary co-founders Justin and Rosemary.

Anita Kranjc is the original founder of The Save Movement, which is a collection of groups around the world who bear witness of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals en route to slaughter. The goals are to raise awareness about the plight of farmed animals, help people become vegan, and build a stronger, grassroots animal justice movement.

On June 22, 2015 Anita Kranjc gave water to pigs in a slaughter truck on the way to Fearman's Pork slaughterhouse, which is located in Burlington, Ontario just outside of Toronto.
On June 23, 2015, the owner of the farm who technically still owned the pigs at the time Anita gave them water, filed a criminal case against Anita.
On September 9, 2015, Krajnc was charged with criminal mischief, the penalty for which ranges from a fine to 10 years in prison.

Andrea Davis went to school to learn how to make cheese, but eventually learned about the dairy industry horrors of separating mothers from their children and other forms of animal exploitation. A few years later, she gave up cheese making and turned her farm into a full scale sanctuary. Now she is the proud owner of "Broken Shovels" located just outside Denver, Colorado.
