As the world continues to battle a global pandemic that originated from contact with a wild animal, it seems timely to contemplate humanity’s relationship to wild animals. So this week on Chickeeps, Evy speaks to longtime animal welfare activist and vegan, Katie Tostevin-Hobbs of World Animal Protection about what it means to create safe and respectful boundaries between people and wild animals. We discuss why it’s unethical to use animals in entertainment, what wild animals really shouldn’t be kept as pets, and also why some animal welfare organisations choose not to take a publicly vegan stance.
