Vegan Abolitionism As A Site For Consumer-Based Social Change
In this essay, author Corey Lee Wrenn discuses how animals are impacted by globalization. She argues that their increasing use is one of the most serious consequences of globalization and requires dedicated attention. Wrenn presents vegan abolitionism as a way to counter this phenomenon and also discusses what she refers to as the “utopian” and “pragmatic” approaches used in the animal protection movement.
[Abstract excerpted from original source.]
“Globalization has exacerbated speciesism both socially and economically. Veganism and its subsequent labeling schemes have arisen as an important political site of resistance to growing non-human animal inequality. This paper explores globalization‘s impact on non-human animals, veganism and vegan labeling, as well as important divides within the modern non-human animal rights movement in regards to utopian and pragmatic approaches to alleviating growing speciesism.”
