Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. That's the old saying. But, what if the opposite is true? Today's language denigrates animals with many common phrases encouraging cruelty and violence against animals. Now that the cat's out of the bag should be kill two birds with one stone? Or should we feed two birds with one scone to liberate language from the bondage of speciesism? Today's guest is the vegan/animal rights author of a trilogy of novels, literature that does not accept animal exploitation as a given. Author Maya Cohen-Ronen discovered speciesism-free fiction books are very difficult to find. Fiction that deliberately promotes animal rights and veganism is all too rare. It was this realization that led her to write The Liberation Trilogy, a series of dystopian suspense novels with a strong female lead and an ethical message, suitable for vegans and pre-vegans. Now, Maya discusses the importance of compassion in language and the connection between feminism and animal liberation.
