Oxford: The Home of Controversy About Animals

[@svenerikjohansson8130]

So many inspiring individuals that have worked in Oxford. I like their work, for example Joseph Butlers and John Wesleys. And also You Andrew has inspired me so very much. I ´m christian and vegan and try to work for and promote this position and its ideals also here in Sweden. I am active in different christian denominations, mostly our eqivalent to Church of England - Church of Sweden (Lutheran it is), but also in the Catholic Church, and I have also visited the Syrian Orthodox immigrant congregation here and the pentecostals. I allways choose theologically conservative preachers, (and choose by that criteria more than by denomination) as the classic christian beliefs indeed are important as I think of it. And actually the catholic vicar in this town preaches more Lutheran than some priests in my own Lutheran church-so the differencens go stgraight through the denominations today rather than going between them.🙂 I hope for more people that are inspired for an animal friendly way of life and for faith. Best wishes from Sven in Sweden.

I feel like at home in any “home of controversy” for animal right anytime of the day.

An Irishman, William Drummond, actually wrote a book "Rights of Animals and Man's Obligation to Treat Them with Humanity" in 1838, not a British Oxford man decades later...

This is an excellent example of human history and perhaps our interconnectedness, as so many outstanding ideas and inventions indeed happened at different places around the world within decades of each other. Perhaps Jung was correct, there is a collective consciousness. I have heard of William Drummond, and would like to explore his book. Thank you for pointing this out. He must have been a man of great intellect and ethics indeed.
