Ep. 419: Carelessness Exposes Monkey Import Danger, PETA says

Given the current situation of the nation and the world, and the coincidence of Women's Month, we reprise our interview with Jim Mason, a co-author with philosopher Peter Singer on "Animal Factories." Mason's written a new edition of his 1993 classic, "An Unnatural Order--Roots of Our Destruction of Nature," where he connects our "othering" of animals with racism, sexism, colonialism, and white supremacy.  Mason sees our "othering" of animals is linked to "misogyny" and coined the phrase "misothery."
