Two NPR radio programs have
addressed the issue of animal rights. Just
after passage of the German legislation to extend certain legal rights
to
animals (a move that might limit the use of animals in scientific
experiments), the 5/24/02 edition of "Talk
of the Nation: Science Friday" looked at the debate over animal
rights and animal experimentation in the U.S.
Comment:
While there's no
policy change at this time, it's encouraging the debate is at last
starting.
The second story, "Fast Food and Animal Rights,"
produced by Daniel Zwerdling for American Radio Works, looks at
what happened when "an unlikely corporation -- McDonald's" -- has
taken the lead in the campaign for animal welfare." Part II of
the report introduces Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who says
that her autism makes it possible for her to experience the world as
animals do. It is she that corporate executives credit with
changing their attitudes about how animals are treated.
Comment: the influence of McDonald's is truly amazing.
