Jamie Woodhouse questions the logic of “the logic of the larder” – the view that it is better to bring animals into the world to kill them eg in animal agriculture, rather than those animals not being brought into existence at all. The show also features a discussion on the practical implications of rejecting this logic of the larder position, in terms of implications for animal advocacy. Jamie is attempting to popularise the concept of Sentientism – a worldview based on evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings.
