"Homeless youth with nonhuman companions are less likely to commit suicide." - Yaffa Elling, Social Worker #scas2014 #intersectionality

"Université de Montréal Veterinary program helps Dans la rue provide discounted services, food, and basic testing to homeless youth's pets." #scas2014

"Speciesism is not simply a discourse, not simply an ideology. It is a mode of production. In fact, it is the primary one." #scas2014

John Sanbonmatsu discusses the tensions within #CriticalAnimalStudies in the academy. #scas2014

"We are trying to create a new intellectual common sense. A 'new permanent consensus.'" - John Sanbonmatsu @ #scas2014

"Critical Animal Studies has become vulnerable to a kind of 'fashion theory' [...] that is [...] pretty elitist."

"What is biopower? It's difficult to see... Well, I know what capitalism is; I can see who owns everything." - John Sanbonmatsu #scas2014

"The role of critical theory? Not to complicate the world. To make it simple. Take difficult theory, use it, get to the <3 of phenomena."

Rocky Schwartz talks about her love for farm sanctuaries and nonhuman bodily autonomy. Tune in on youtube! #scas2014
