Animal Studies Initiative and the Animal Welfare Collective at New York University Panel
Renee participated on a panel in New York on November 10, 2016 about the role of farm animal sanctuaries in the animal rights movement. The panel, which featured three other sanctuary founders and directors and was moderated by Jasmin Singer of Our Hen House, endeavored to present the many and varied perspectives on this important topic. The topics ranged from the direction sanctuaries will play in the future to the strengths and weaknesses of them as a system for animal liberation. With an audience comprised of NYU’s vibrant animal rights community, and drawing on the city’s activists, and supported by strong social media and traditional promotional campaigns, there was a lively discussion and Q&A session.
