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.
