Dr. Martin Balluch and the Austrian animal rights movement

Interview with Dr. Martin Balluch, a prominent activist within the Austrian animal rights movement and President of Verein Gegen Tierfabriken (Association Against Animal Factories). He'll tell us about hosting Tierrechtsradio, an animal advocacy program. Then he'll give us an insider look into the development and texture of the current animal rights and animal liberation movements in Austria, as well as provide an update about the new animal welfare legislation within the country. Also, we'll hear about some recent open rescues and what it means to be veggie in Austria.

This show blew my mind when I first heard it. Dr. Balluch sounds almost matter-of-fact as he describes legal innovations that might seem unthinkable to a North American audience, but that have really come to pass in Austria! Very inspiring.
