THE PETA PODCAST

We go to the archive and reprise a conversation between PETA Podcast host Emil Guillermo and Ingrid Newkirk, PETA president, on the release of her book "Animalkind," written with Gene Stone. Newkirk talks about what "animalkind" means and how we need to understand that humans are animals too, and not necessarily superior to other species. 

Buy "Animalkind" wherever books are sold.

The Animal Rights discussion began when philosophers asked whether animals suffer. They do. But physical pain is one thing, do they feel emotions and grief? If a donkey does, does a spider? Author Barbara J. King, a professor emerita in Anthropology at William and Mary talks to Emil Guillermo about her research and how a knowledge of animal feelings could improve our empathy and compassion toward animals.

Dr. John P. Gluck was honored with PETA's Trailblazing Advocacy Award in 2021 for being a shining example of ethics in science. In this conversation with Emil Guillermo,  Gluck--the one-time animal experimenter--who studied with the infamous Harry Harlow, describes his own transformation from an animal experimenter to a compassionate bioethicist committed to a cruelty-free science.

Gluck's book, "Voracious Science and Vulnerable Animals" has become a guide for scientists, especially of a new generation, seeking to practice a science aligned with their ethical identity. It hasn't been easy.

Gluck admits he remains haunted by the faces of the animals he experimented on.
