Animal & Disability Liberation - with Sunaura Taylor

Sunaura Taylor is an artist, writer and activist for disability and animal rights. In this video we explore the central argument of her book, ”Beasts of Burden”, that aims to show how ableism and speciesism are intertwined, working with one another as oppressions. Taylor uses an intersectional perspective to show that often, ableist positions are used to justify speciesist actions. This is why „veganism … is an embodied practice of challenging ableism through what we eat, wear, and use and a political position that takes justice for animals as integral to justice for disabled people”.

00:15 Part I - this fable is not for your inspiration
01:37 Part II - disabled bodies and ableism
04:36 Part III - animal and disability liberation are entangled
08:30 Part IV - cripping animal ethics

Note: We are extremely thankful and inspired by Sunaura Taylor’s writings and have tried our best to represent them. As we are still learning, we welcome comments on how we can improve our videos and better represent the views we talk about. Also, we are learning more and more every day about how speciesist language works and how to avoid it, let us know in the comments what you think is a good practice.
