The Troubles (Animals in Irish Society, Episode 5)

00:00 / 20:00

This episode discusses the persistence of animality in Irish Republicanism in the late 19^th century and the 20th-century protests under British occupation during the Troubles. While Britain applied animality to Irish rebels as a measure of control, the Irish would strategically adopt animality as an illustration of their oppression. The episode also discusses some mid-20th century vegan activists and their response to civil rights injustices of the era.
