Animal Rights Campaigners
They have been painted as feckless veggies or masked extremists. But the convictions of animal rights campaigners are a bit more complex than that.
The Maze team of Melanie Phillips, Claire Fox, Michael Gove and Clifford Longley will be cross-examining the experts who believe either that animals can be legitimately used for the sake of humans as long as we spare them pain. Or that animals are not inferior or subordinate to humans and to think otherwise is to be guilty of 'speciesism'.
Should human interests take moral precedence over the interests of non-human animals? An emotive Moral Maze is guaranteed.
