Arin Greenwood–a wearer of many hats, mostly animal-related, including Director of Philanthropy Communications at Austin Pets Alive! former animal journalist extraordinaire (HuffPost, Washington Post, The Today Show website, et al), and novelist–maintains a sizable social media presence, posting regularly on Facebook, which in a way, spawned this interview. That is, I was struck by the […] The post Arin Greenwood on loving & living with dogs first appeared on Talking Animals.

Arin Greenwood describes herself as an animal writer, novelist and lawyer. Her young adult book "Your Robot Dog Will Die" was published in 2018. Arin was animal welfare editor for The Huffington Post and now writes about dogs, cats, and other animals for The Today Show, The Dodo, The Washington Post, Slate, Creative Loafing, the American Bar Association Journal and many other publications. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. We discuss: 00:00 Welcome - Kyle Johannsen episode 02:01 Arin's Intro - Dog lover, animal writer, former lawyer who has "written a couple of books" - Writing about animal welfare then working with animal advocacy and sanctuary organisations - Austin Pets Alive https://www.austinpetsalive.org/ 03:57 What's Real? - Growing up in a #Jewish family "And I'm still Jewish" - Secular Judaism "We identify as Jewish, we have a Jewish community, I had a Bat Mitzvah... we celebrate a lot of the Jewish holidays but it doesn't necessarily have a belief component to it" - Parents "go in and out of how spiritual they feel at any given moment" - "I don't feel like I know enough about the universe to say there's definitely no such thing as a higher power... I barely know what's happening inside my own house most days" - "My instinct is as a secular jew" - "There are people who know more than I do... I believe in expertise... I also believe in humility" 07:53 What Matters? - Regardless of whether there is a universal being... we do have knowable duties... to those who can feel happiness and those who can suffer" - "The hard part is figuring out what those duties are and how they exist in a practical sense" - "What difference does it make... if there's some sort of universal being... you should act in a good way regardless" - The #torah  story of Abraham and Isaac "where god does tell Abraham to kill his son... that's not a story about 'you must be good' that's a story of 'you must follow my instructions'" #Divinecommandtheory - JW: "We can have a hope that god might be benevolent... but if they're not we still have to do what we're told" - Naturalistic #epistemology and/or #ontology - "In Judaism we don't have hell... it's mostly 'you'll just really disappoint your mother'" - Morality, amorality and immorality - Moral foundations, #moralrealism or #antirealism - #Psychopath and #Sociopathy JW: "even they can find an intellectual path to not harming others" - JW: "Almost everybody has something you can start with... cares about their mother or their children or their friends... starting with the values they already hold... working with that... consistency" 21:20 Who Matters? - "I've been #vegetarian since I was six years old... I made the connection between the animals I enjoyed spending time with and what was on my plate... at that point it just became unthinkable to keep eating them." - "My husband... who doesn't share that same moral impulse... what do the normies think?" - The animal welfare world: "Even in that world there's a lot of inconsistency - animal shelter events will serve meat... director eats meat 01:15:20 Follow Arin - aringreenwood.com - @arin_twit - Arin on FaceBook ...and much more.

Today I talked to Arin Greenwood about her new book Your Robot Dog Will Die (Soho, 2019). When a global genetic experiment goes awry and canines stop wagging their tails, mass hysteria ensues and the species is systematically euthanized. But soon, Mechanical Tail comes to the rescue. The company creates replacements for “man's best friend” and studies them on Dog Island, where 17-year-old Nano Miller was born and raised. Nano's life has become a cycle of annual heartbreak. Every spring, she is given the latest robot dog model to test, only to have it torn from her arms a year later. But one day she makes a discovery that upends everything she's taken for granted: a living puppy that miraculously wags its tail. And there is no way she's letting this dog go. Arin Greenwood is an animal writer and former lawyer living in St. Petersburg, Florida, with her husband, Ray, and their beloved pets. Arin was animal welfare editor for The Huffington Post. Her stories about dogs, cats, and other critters have appeared in many publications including The Washington Post, The Dodo, The Today Show's website, Slate, Creative Loafing, the American Bar Association Journal, Best Friends Animal Society's magazine, and more. She now writes and edits for animal nonprofits. Arin is also the author of Tropical Depression and Save the Enemy. Kyle Johannsen is a philosophy instructor at Trent University and Wilfrid Laurier University. His most recent book is Wild Animal Ethics: The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering (Routledge, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices.

You know those super viral animal-related articles you see all your friends sharing on your social media feeds? You know the ones. Headlines like this one on TODAY.com, “couple creates humongous bed so they can sleep comfortably with eight rescue dogs.” What about this story on The Dodo, “pit bull obsessed with cats gets his litter of kittens.” This week's guest wrote those and hundreds of other articles during her time as the animal welfare editor at The Huffington Post and as a freelance journalist. Arin Greenwood's work has told the stories of hundreds of people and their pets and the inspiring work of animal shelters and rescue organizations worldwide. However, her work isn't all stories about dogs riding one-eyed ponies in the middle of the night (yes, https://bit.ly/3rQrNGD (that is real)). One of her pieces in The Washington Post helped elevate the conversation around arbitrarily stringent adoption policies. She's moved on from her role at The Huffington Post, but she continues to write about animal welfare, and her most recent novel, Your Robot Dog Will Die, has received acclaim from critics (and, if all goes well, it may be coming soon to the small screen!). This week we learn more about Arin and her career as a journalist and writer, both on and offline. She also shares many tips on writing compelling stories of your own and creating and maintaining relationships with journalists.

A few months ago, Scientific American published an article titled, "Your Dog May Not Be A Genius After All." The article went viral on Twitter, with thousands of people having an intense emotional reaction to the headline. Most everyone had a humorous reaction, but the feeling behind it was almost one of betrayal. For this episode of the Individual Animal podcast, Arin Greenwood joins us to discuss why people had this reaction, what our own dogs mean to us and whether or not we think they are intelligent. We discovered that one of Nikki's dogs can sing. Regina's dog is a jerk. Arin's dog is lazy and forgetful.

We need to get honest about what happens when we demonize free adoptions and holiday shelter promotions due to our desire to protect animals from potential cruelty. We also need to get honest about whether or not these emotional responses to potential cruelty are really based in reality. Author and animal advocate Arin Greenwood joins us as we talk through what's really behind the negativity surrounding free adoptions.  Maddie's Fund has a roundup of studies on the subject. Read our full blog on why we think free adoptions and pets as gifts are good things for dogs, people, and communities.
