On Thursday evening, March 30, UPC President Karen Davis joined Political Philosophy Professor John Sanbonmatsu, and HSUS President Wayne Pacelle in a rousing discussion of Wayne’s book “The Humane Economy.” Sponsored by Animal Justice Advocates at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, the debate was lively, passionate, and informative. We thank Animal Justice Advocates very much for inviting us to share our varying perspectives on how people can best help animals and advance the cause of animal liberation. We are pleased to share with you these kind expressions of gratitude for the event:

“Thank you so much to Karen Davis, Wayne Pacelle, and John Sanbonmatsu for an invigorating conversation last night. We hope that everyone who came was inspired to learn more about the topics we discussed and the animal rights movement as a whole. Be on the lookout for more exciting events like this with AJA!”

“Thank you AJA for inviting community members to your event! My husband and I attended, and we walked away with a lot to think and talk about. We have been vegan for years, but conversations like this always remind us that being vegan isn’t enough--we have work to do as activists as well. Thanks for the inspiration.” – An appreciative comment posted on Facebook

“Karen, so many people have been remarking on the incredible passion they felt in your voice and statements- many have commented ‘I’ve never heard of someone who loves chickens so much!’ I believe you truly inspired the audience to see birds as beings and your passion will not be soon forgotten. Thank you so much for traveling to Charlottesville for this event and sharing your wisdom.” – Animal Justice Advocates, University of Virginia
