Name: Why Animal Advocacy Matters Much More Than You Think w/ Oscar Horta
Start: 2022-12-04T14:00:00-05:00
End: 2022-12-04T15:30:00-05:00

Oscar Horta will present an accessible overview of the main arguments regarding speciesism, animal exploitation, and wild animal suffering, as well as longtermism from an animal welfare perspective. His presentation will argue that animal advocacy is a very important (though often underrated) cause area, especially when we take into account longtermist concerns.

Oscar Horta is an animal activist and moral philosopher as well as a professor in the Department of Philosophy and Anthropology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). In addition to co-founding the organization Animal Ethics, he is known for his work on the problem of wild animal suffering, the concept of speciesism, and the moral consideration of nonhuman animals. In 2022, Horta published his first book in English, "Making a Stand for Animals."
