Animal Concerns of Texas

Second and Fourth Sunday of the Month at 7:30pm

 

 

Welcome to ACT Radio -- Animal Concerns of Texas, with co-hosts Greg Lawson, and

Elizabeth Walsh. Every second and fourth Sunday evening at 7:30, we offer a

unique program that focuses on animals, and related issues such as vegetarianism

and the environment.

 

Everyone loves animals, and yet animals are the most helpless and victimized

members of the living community. We believe with Gandhi that " The greatness of a

nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. "

 

Most people have no idea the horrors our animal friends undergo in zoos,

circuses, rodeos, experimental laboratories, and factory farms and

slaughterhouses. Through the airwaves and elsewhere, we seek to be a voice for

the voiceless and to promote change through education and expanding awareness

and compassion.

 

We discuss the ways our society exploits animals, and how drastically this abuse

affects human interests concerning health, the environment, and our level of

connectedness to life. We offer new visions for how to heal the breaches in our

social world and in our relation to the natural world. We believe that animal

liberation is the next great liberation movement on this planet, and that by

promoting respect for nonhuman animals, we are advancing human moral evolution.

 

ACT brings you the latest news about animals, from local concerns to global

issues, from vegetarianism to animal rights activism. We also feature lively

interviews with people involved in the animal welfare and animal rights

movements, from local folks to well-known figures who work toward the same goal

of promoting a New Enlightenment in our relations with other species. You will

hear compelling music that promotes respect for all life.

 

Greg Lawson

Greg Lawson has been a National Park Service Ranger for twenty years and is on

the executive committee of the Sierra Club. His concern for the environment, the

wilderness and the wildlife of our country motivates him to speak for the

animals. Greg is also the President of the Vegetarian Society of El Paso.

 

Dr. Elizabeth Walsh

Liz Walsh is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of

Texas at El Paso. She is also a member of the national Sierra Club Wildlife &

Endangered Species Committe. Dr. Walsh also serves on the Executive Committee of

the El Paso Regional Sierra Club Group, and as a board member of the Vegetarian

Society of El Paso.

 

What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, it's what we know for sure

that just ain't so.
