Alyssa founded Victorian Kangaroo Alliance after recognising the need for a state-wide coordinated approach to targeting the persecution and exploitation of kangaroos, the victims of the world's largest land-based wildlife trade.Alyssa has been involved in wildlife advocacy for eight years, beginning with the Coalition Against Duck Shooting, followed by co-founding the Australian Native Parrot Protection Association and more recently as the Founder and President of Victorian Kangaroo Alliance.Kangaroo advocacy found it's way to Alyssa when she was asked to set up a social media campaign for "Save the Kinley Kangas". The campaign transformed into the Victorian Kangaroo Alliance when a proposal for a kangaroo processing facility in northern Victoria reared it's head. Victorian Kangaroo Alliance experienced rapid growth; becoming incorporated and endorsing a full committee, as well as having great support from community groups across the state.In addition to wildlife advocacy, Alyssa is passionate about death education and advocacy. Alyssa and her sister started a green burial business, Heaven and Earth Eco Burial Products, providing people an environmentally friendly end of life option that gives back to nature and creates protected habitat to benefit native animals and plants.In this episode, Alyssa discusses the difference between commercial and non-commercial killing of kangaroos, the impact of pressuring big sporting brands to ditch kangaroo leather and her experience balancing the transition to veganism whilst maintaining her recovery from an eating disorder.https://www.instagram.com/victorian_kangaroo_alliance/https://www.facebook.com/VictorianKangarooAlliancehttps://vickangas.org/how-to-helphttps://heburials.com.au/

A panel discussion from the 2016 Institute for Critical Animal Studies Oceania Conference, held in Canberra.Panelists: Three Australian activist scholars - Jess Ison, Nick Pendergrast and Lara Drew.The panelists reflect on their experiences of anarchism and animal liberation; a critical dialogue into the causes of speciesism whilst taking a broader view of social justice and the nature of oppression.Animal advocates have long argued that veganism is a necessary step within the goal of animal liberation; however, on its own it is not enough. A vegan ethic has the most promise if it is also anti-capitalist, against all forms of domination, and was one that embraced practices of total liberation underpinned by radical activism.Jessica Ison is the Representative for Institute for Critical Animal Studies in Oceania. She is a PhD candidate at La Trobe University and a tutor in Gender Studies and Animal Studies. Jess is a rescuer for the Coalition Against Duck Shooting and her writing can be found in Overland.Lara Drew is a final year PhD candidate at the University of Canberra. Her principal research lies in the field of learning and pedagogy, radical education, community development, activism, and critical animal studies. Lara’s other research and writing activities include feminism and the body, and anarchist and anticapitalist positions. Lara is a project director for the Oceania Institute for Critical Animal Studies chapter and participates in various grassroots campaigns.Nick Pendergrast has had many years of experience as a vegan advocate. He has also been active in other social movements and co-hosts the intersectional, political podcast Progressive Podcast Australia . He has a PhD in Sociology and his thesis applied sociological theories on social movements and organisations to the animal advocacy movement. He also teaches Sociology at the University of Melbourne and Criminology at Deakin University.

We hear from novelists Alice Robinson, and Naomi Oreskes.And later in the program, something that should be relegated to the world of fiction, but unfortunately is all too real. The duck shooting season has started again in Victoria, and so too has the campaign to stop it. We speak with Laurie Levy, long-time activist with the Coalition Against Duck Shooting.Guests: Alice Robinson (author and lecturer in creative writing at NMIT), Naomi Oreskes (author and Professor of the history of science at Harvard University), and Laurie Levy (Campaign Director at Coalition Against Duck Shooting).
