Eric the Abolitionist

Show 83 features an interview with Eric Prescott, a Boston-based animal rights activist who is working on a variety of interesting projects, including a kiosk named OVED, a documentary series called "I'm Vegan", the Boston Vegan Association, and his blog An Animal Friendly Life. Eric is an abolitionist who subscribes to the philosophy of Gary Francione. EricÊexplains the difference between abolitionist and welfarist approaches to animal activism, and is a living example of how to put abolitionist ideals into action. Our guest host is Meredith Madyda who debuted on a previous unrecorded show. News stories include PETA's 'Save The Whales' billboard, mad cow disease in the human blood supply, and yet another meat recall.
