“Why don’t you care about humans?” is an accusatory question that most animal advocates have encountered. This week, we are joined by Poorva Joshipura to discuss her new book, Survival at Stake, which connects the dots between our treatment of animals and the future of humans.
Poorva Joshipura is the author of For a Moment of Taste: How What You Eat Impacts Animals, the Planet and Your Health (2020) and Survival at Stake: How Our Treatment of Animals Is Key to Human Existence (2023). She is the Senior Vice President of International Affairs for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation UK. She has spent over two decades with PETA entities, during which time she has conducted eyewitness investigations and campaigns. She is a regular guest on television news and radio shows and speaks on animal rights at universities and at other events, and can usually be found in London, Mumbai, Delhi or Wadi Musa.
