Welcome back to another episode of ProtegoCast! This week, Tylor, Jordan, and Emma are joined by Empty the Tanks Founder and animal rights activist, Rachel Carbary, in a discussion about the magical beings of the deep: Merpeople!
We find out more about the mission of Empty the Tanks and discuss Merpeople’s rights, speciesism, and captivity with Rachel (also a Potter enthusiast). Also included in this episode:
What do we know about merpeople in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World? The marketization and glossing over of the struggles of merpeople in the Wizarding World, and similarities to things like “the dolphin’s smile” concept in the animal rights movement What is the Black Lake? Is it like a seaside sanctuary? How can we create a world where creatures are not living in tanks? Speciesism and the favoring of humanoid beings in animal rights. “Giving a voice to the voiceless”: The oppression of Merpeople throughout Wizarding history: overview of the classification system throughout wizarding history and its various iterations, the historical voicelessness of Merpeople in wizard society, and how this relates to social justice and animal rights movements. Ocean conservation and ending marine mammal captivity and Tips for traveling as a veganWe’ll return soon for another episode exploring animal rights in the Wizarding World, but in the meantime, be sure to send us your thoughts, leave a review, join our Patreon, and - on behalf of all magical creatures - Protego Maxima!
