PETA’s “Future Without Speciesism Award” is giving up to $10,000 to brilliant, innovative students looking to help end the exploitation of animals around the world.
PETA defines speciesism as the “human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior.” Speciesism can convince humans that they have the right to use animals for food, clothing, or entertainment or that certain species of animals deserve to be killed and eaten while others are protected.
The nonprofit’s contest, which will award grants of between $1,000 and $10,000, is open to any university student over 18 years of age.
Applicants, who can work individually or in teams, must choose an area where animals are still exploited and create a plan or prototype to end their suffering. Innovators must show their invention will be “marketable as a viable alternative to the methods that [they] seek to replace,” PETA says on its website.
The winners retain the creative rights to their designs and will be free to patent them.
PETA’s innovator award program aims to inspire more talented youth to join the rapidly-growing animal welfare movement. Recently, inventors developed leather from mushrooms and “meat” from plants. Education is spreading about the cruelty that animals suffer due to testing, the meat industry, and entertainment.
Lady Freethinker applauds this effort to save animals’ lives. Ending speciesism would have global benefits and every innovation that removes animals from cruel situations moves us toward that reality.
What’s New…
What a great idea.
End cruelty.
PETA isn’t all that it is crack up to be. I’ve done some research and learned about their extremist beliefs and ways and extremist beliefs on any matter is destructive, damaging and totalitarian for lack of a better word at the moment. Any healthy approach requires a balance. I am well aware of the UN-WEF agenda of “You will own NOTHING and be happy” which mean no land, no property, not even clothes..-the elites will steal it all from you and you rent all-Look it up and research klaus schwab great recent and the his book written on how covid is their trojan horse to bankrupt livelihood and employment aside from big corps and gvmt) to then take away your property and make you a slave. I am also aware of killbll’s wantign to control all food control and now owns more farmland then anyone in the US and is behind the current attack against India’s farmers so he can feed us nothing but mosantos, gmo and lab created fake biology (not found in nature) cultured cell meat with unknown, unproven long term effects unnatural Frankenstein foods. All these alphabet agencies are part of the agenda. Soylent greens in the making. This is what this extreme agenda is really about. PETA is also known to having killed more unwanted pets then any shelter as rather then find a home, they believe it is better off destroyed. Again-research it. Total extremist terrorist style approach. I no longer support them as I no longer see them as logical, coherent or even sane.
Stop all animal cruelty and experiments.
Perspektywa bez wyróżniania gatunku, płci …. Mam nadzieję doczekamy tego
An invention that could mean a bright future for a life without animal cruelty for the next new generation.
