About this listen
Professor Rogers Brambell and his Committee showed that animals feel pain, fear, frustration, and pleasure, and that their experiences are often similar to ours. Their scientific findings emphasised that actions cruel to humans can also be cruel to animals.
The Committee also created a legal framework to protect animal welfare—work that evolved into the Five Freedoms—and set the stage for rethinking factory farming and how society treats animals.
Animal Rights Tour is written by Sean Butler, hosted by Carly McCann, and fact-checked by Paulina Siemieniec.
