Beyond the Paws: Disentangling Animal Rights and Animal Welfare 

Joins us as we explore the critical distinction between promoting the humane care and well-being of animals and advancing an animal rights philosophy. Featuring special guest Ed Sayres, this session will examine how these different approaches shape advocacy, legislation, and public perception, with a closer look at the fundraising and messaging strategies used by animal rights organizations. The conversation will also explore the real-world implications of these strategies and what they mean for the future of animal advocacy and responsible pet care.
