In this episode we speak with Jo-Anne McArthur, acclaimed animal photojournalist and founder and president of We Animals Media, an organization whose photographers document the lives of unseen and ignored animals caught within human systems of exploitation and oppression. HIghlights of this episode include: How, motivated by the power of photography to catalyze social change and to raise awareness about animal exploitation, Jo-Anne created a new genre of photojournalism, namely Animal Photo Journalism (APJ); APJ's mission to capture, memorialize, and expose the experiences of animals who are caught within the complex human-dominated systems and whom we fail to see - animals within the industrial food systems, animals used for entertainment, such as in circuses, zoos, aquaria, theme parks, and rodeos, and animals used in research; Jo-Anne's travels to over 60 countries that catalogue our complex relationship with animals, captured in her three books, We Animals, Captive, and Hidden: Animals in the Anthropocene, and her feature role in the acclaimed Canadian documentary, The Ghosts in Our Machines; inspiring stories of animal advocacy and highlights of the work of women on the front lines, captured in the Unbound project by We Animals Media; how Jo-Anne manages the emotional impact of documenting animal suffering while staying committed to animal liberation; and finally, on behalf of our planet which is groaning under the pressure of human dominion, Jo-Anne's reflection on her personal journey of choosing not to have children, emphasizing the importance of considering alternative and richer ways to express love and fulfillment.

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 2:23 Jo's Intro - Striving to be open, active, helping, empathic, compassionate, humble - Founding We Animals Media "What was once me with camera is now me & 15 staff & over 100 contributing photographers globally" - "My own ethos about being generous in the world" 3:57 What's Real? - #catholic background but not very religious family - "Know the stories, know the moralistic tales... which are largely quite good & translate across many religions... do unto others... take care of one another" - "I am personally #atheist / #agnostic atheist... I do have a very #spiritual sense of the world... did I just contradict myself? I don't think so." - "Everything is interconnected... I am from the earth and will go back to the earth." - "It's a beautiful system this earth has evolved over billions of years... I am in awe of that." - "If I have a spiritual leaning it's towards reference for the earth" - "My dad commented... I seemed like an earth worshipper... indigenous ideology? pagan ideology?" - "I go through the world in awe of what is around me" - "You protect what you love... I do love the plants... trees, birds in the trees & the old dog I adopted & other people..." - "Perhaps that reverence has led me to be a full time activist for others" - "There were no clashes (with supernatural religious beliefs)... it just seemed to me that the scientific experiment is what holds truest to me... how biology works... how the cosmos works... I just gravitated towards that" - "3 of my 4 parents are very religious now... we don't talk about it very much because we disagree on some major things" - "They feel that I will go to hell if I don't find Jesus so they pray for me... yet we have a gorgeous, wonderful, close relationship" - "We disagree on these things but we can still love one another" - "It was quite a religion free zone at my house. I was free to develop my worldviews." - "My parents guided me but also took a back seat to the things that were apparently precious to me... protecting others" 14:22 What & Who Matters? xx A Better Future? ...and much more.

Species Unite will be back next week, June 2nd, with a brand new season. Until then, we are re-sharing some of our favorite episodes. Today's is a conversation with Jo-Anne McArthur.   Jo-Anne McArthur is an award winning photojournalist and the founder of We Animals Media. For 20 years she has been photographing and bearing witness to our complex relationship with animals. She's worked in over 60 countries in just about every industry one can imagine - including: fur farms, factory farms, bear bile farms, zoos, rodeos, circuses, and marine parks with the mission to make the lives of these invisible animals visible. Her images tell the stories of unseen suffering, the stories of what happens when we stop paying attention, of what hopelessness looks like, and of thousands of little lives that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. She is also co-founder of the Unbound Project and the author of two books, We Animals and Captive. And, she was the subject of Liz Marshall's acclaimed documentary, The Ghosts in Our Machine. I have been a super-fan of Jo-Anne's for years, so it felt like a real honor to be able to spend this time with her. I learned a lot in this conversation, about suffering, about empathy, and mostly, about grace. I hope that you will be as moved by Jo-Anne and her work as I am.

I’ve got good news, better news and bad news, folks. The good news is that yesterday a book launched that will change minds, hearts and lives around the world. The better news is that Jo-Anne McArthur, co-editor of this book, took time out of an incredibly busy schedule this morning to chat with me about it. The bad news is that, because it’s 2020, the recording software I use didn’t record my side of our conversation. Which, for many, may be the best news of all. Let’s start at the beginning. Hidden: Animals in the Anthropocene by Jo-Anne McArthur and Keith Wilson, with a Foreword by Joaquin Phoenix, is now available. A short synopsis from the book’s media kit: HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene is an unflinching book of photography documenting our relationship with non-human animals in the 21st Century. It focuses on the invisible animals in our lives: those with whom we have a close relationship and yet fail to see. They are the animals we eat and the animals we wear. They are the animals used in research and for entertainment, as well as the animals we sacrifice in the name of tradition and religion. HIDDEN includes the work of a global community of photographers, 40 of the world’s best animal photojournalists who work globally to investigate, document, and expose animal use.  I spent a few hours flipping through my review copy, experiencing the images and reading the accompanying essays, facts and contextual copy. My review can be broken down to two sentences: Hidden is the heart-wrenching documentation of the unnatural things we’ve done to this planet and its inhabitants. We can only hope that this clear story – one that shows truth without apology or hyperbole – is enough to help us change our ways. Jo-Anne, founder of We Animals, joined me for a conversation about the new book; but as I noted, an error in my recording software kept only Jo-Anne’s part of that conversation. I spent about an hour and a half trying to reverse engineer my questions (I keep notes, not fully written questions) before realizing that there’s ethical implications behind that I’m not comfortable with and it would likely just sound weird. As such, I’m presenting Jo-Anne’s answers, again the important part, with simple subject prompts from me. I apologize to listeners and Jo-Anne for this issue, though I think Jo-Anne’s own interview skills really shine as a result. This episode is brought to you by AnimalStone.com.

This episode is later than originally anticipated – between human and canine health issues and some technical whoopsies, things got delayed. And before we get into it, I want to let you know that JoAnne and I get into some heavy conversation about compassion fatigue and the emotional weight of advocacy work. If that isn’t something you’re up for – no problem! Please know that there are many available resources to help manage self-care, compassion fatigue, and other emotional or mental-health related topics. Start by talking to your doctor, caregiver, or Googling what local resources exist in your municipality or county. Now let’s get started with this week’s episode. Photographs tell stories. Some of them are funny, some sad, some tragic, some a mixture of many emotions. Regardless of what story is being told, photography has a way of getting to people when words have failed. And that’s why We Animals Media matters. Through a variety of storytelling methods – including founder Jo-Anne McArthur’s incredible photography and photojournalism – We Animals Media is a home for a catalogue accessible to traditional media, advocates, and everyone in between. It’s also the site of exciting new projects – like a We Animals masterclass, book sales, mentorships, and really, more than I can say in a short introduction. I was thrilled to chat with Jo-Anne about the history of We Animals, the current projects she’s developing with a growing team, and what the future holds for the world’s premiere animal advocacy storytellers.

In this episode, Kathy Stevens and Jo McArthur discuss: Jo’s journey from street photography to photographing captive animals in factories, zoos, labs, and fur farms. Why Jo feels it’s imperative to show animals in the situations we’ve put them in. How she engages with the animals she photographs. The building of “We Animals Media” to expand Jo’s capacity to reach larger numbers. Key Takeaways: The camera is a tool for social change. Animals understand when we’re trying to help them. A book gives one’s work historical weight and value. Sometimes, if we’re trying to do the greatest good for the greatest number, we have to give up some of what we love. “I’m asking you to look at the cruelty and I’m asking you to self-reflect." – Jo-Anne McArthur Connect with Jo McArthur: Twitter: @WeAnimals Facebook: We Animals Website: WeAnimalsMedia.org & WeAnimalsArchive.org Books: We Animals & Captive Instagram: @weanimals Connect with Kathy Stevens: Facebook: facebook.com/kathy.stevens.CAS, facebook.com/catskillanimalsanctuary Twitter: twitter.com/CASanctuary/ Books: https://store.casanctuary.org/collections/books/products/where-the-blind-horse-sings Website: Catskill Animal Sanctuary Instagram: instagram.com/catskill_animal_sanctuary/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/CASanctuary

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Anna Pippus about the progress being made with the food guide and how it incorporates a more plant-based approach. Anna has been following along and even consulting on the changes happening right now in Canada with regards to the Canadian Food Guide and the Guiding Principles. She fills us in on how these changes are taking place, how it is different from other countries and where the pushback is coming from. She helps clear up the cyber rumors and sets us straight letting us know for sure if the dairy food group is actually going to be eliminated. We spend some time talking about the connotation for adults and children when foods are called “alternative” and what food taxes are really for. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with some of the advancements you hear about in this episode so share it with your friends near and wide. Anna Pippus is an animal rights lawyer specializing in laws and policies that impact animals farmed for food.

When greeted by the radiant smile and gentle laugh lines around photojournalist JoAnne McArthur’s eyes, it’s difficult to imagine the horrors that those eyes have born witness to in bringing the world images of  ‘the invisibles’. In this episode of MHP Jo chats about what drives her to photograph and document the plight of captive, farmed and abused animals all over the world, her techniques for making those remarkable images-which serve as both a window and a mirror into human behaviour, and the benefits of viewing things from a wide angle.She talks about her upcoming book Captive, coping with PTSD, why women in advocacy should and are be celebrated in her Unbound project, her idea of happiness and why she’ll continue to do what she does until she dies.Jo Anne McArthur is a photojournalist and educator. She travels the globe documenting the use, abuse and issues faced by our non-human kin. She is the subject of the award-winning Canadian Documentary The Ghosts in Our Machine and is the author of WeAnimals a book based on her life’s work. Her upcoming book Captive is available this April and her Unbound project highlighting women  on the front lines of animal advocacy can be found at www.unboundproject.org.  You can learn more about Jo at http://www.weanimals.org.Find out more at www.myhomeplanet.org

We had to make another episode because good things come in threes! I introduced it as "We Animals", but trust me, it is definitely a podcast On Being Animals. This time we recorded at Trish's verdant apartment and we even managed to capture Manfred's heartwarming bark for posterity. We love you Manfred! Between the barks, we discovered all sorts of fantastic things about the Urinating Poison-comb Paperweight. Other notable discoveries: being dead inside, culture, and bicycle safety.   Most egregious error: I called vertebrates "invertebrates". I did it several times and without a conscience. Please forgive me. Also, the title should probably be "Venom" not "Poison", but that's just how it happened.   Science level: Lots of non-science tangents at the start, but don't worry, we get to the animal facts eventually.

Download Episode! It is happening for real! This is the first episode of On Being Animals* and I had the smart as a whip Jovian on to discover more about the Milk-ooze Venom Swimmer. Other notable discoveries: macho fights, super sleep, and tickles. Most egregious error I'm aware of: Echidnas are definitely not birds. Not even close. Also, I may have over-shared a personal story. Science Level: Pretty high!   *at the time of recording, I was calling this "We Animals". I later fount out that someone had written a book by that title and didn't want to step on toes. I think the first 3 or 4 episodes are intro'ed as "We Animals".

One year ago a small budget documentary was premiered at the HotDocs film festival in Toronto. The film followed the journey of a photographer – Jo-Anne McArthur – as she explored the exploitation of animals in modern society. In the year that passed, The Ghosts in Our Machine has become a staple in the work of advocates everywhere. With harrowing – yet not gruesome - scenes inside factory farms and fur farms, Ghosts is a powerful yet palatable look into a world many try to ignore.  To celebrate this one year landmark and the release of The Ghosts on DVD and the iTunes Store, Jo-Anne McArthur joined Defender Radio for a candid conversation.

Derek & Lo Vee interview animal rights photographer Jo-Anne McArthur, who is known for her project We Animals in which she documents, through photography, animals in the human environment who are being used for food, clothing, research, experimentation, work, entertainment, slavery and companionship. Her photos give us a view into their world that is often shocking not because she attempts to show horrific scenes of violence, but rather because she shows the day to day existense of the beings we share the world with. The photos are artistic and taken from perspectives that betray our typical human-centric and speciest gaze.The We Animals project has opened up new opportunities for Jo-Anne, and she is currently the subject of a documentary film by Liz Marshall called The Ghosts in Our Machine. "The film follows Jo-Anne over the course of a year as she photographs several animal stories in parts of Canada, the U.S. and in Europe. Each story is a window into global animal industries: Food, Fashion, Entertainment and Research."
