Summary

Welcome to the second instalment of our meandering exploration of animal rights in the Wizarding World: Episode 9 3/4 part 2! Evy, Robbie and Tylor jump right back in where we left off last week to discuss how to handle handle the delicate task of freeing all house-elves from slavery without traumatizing them, which wand cores are vegan, and the unfair portrayal of dragons as vicious beasts. We listen in awe as Tylor presents a shocking though not unconvincing case for the Dark Lord being vegan, and we also have the pleasure of interviewing Tylor and his co-founder Kathryn on their Harry Potter-inspired animal right’s charity, The Fantastic Beasts Foundation. Also on this week’s episode...

House-elves, and what if they don’t want to be freed?
‘They gauge their self worth not by who they are but by what they can bring to wizards’.
Tylor’s big dreams to create a task force at the Ministry of Magic that champions the rights of magical creatures.
Dragons: the sharks of the magical world?
We share how we would win the first task of the Triwizard Tournament in the most vegan way possible.
The CP’s first fanfic: A beautiful cross-species romance for one of our co-hosts...
Coral: Flora or fauna?
Can vegan wand cores be as powerful?
Can phoenixes be exploited or are they in a different category to other magical beasts?
Is Newt a secret vegan?
Tylor makes the bold and very questionable suggestion that making your snake a horcrux is ‘the ultimate vegan thing to do’.
‘Did someone just cast Incendio cos it got hot in here?!’ 🔥✨
We interview Tylor and Kathryn of the Fantastic Beasts Foundation to discuss the parallel animal rights issues in the muggle and magical worlds and how apply the lessons the books teach us.
Tylor and Kathryn share details of their campaigns and how listeners can get involved.

0:19.0	This is Episode 9 and three quarters part two.
0:22.7	And if you haven't listened to Part 1, you need to go and do that because this episode is deeply nerdy and it won't make a lot of sense to you.
0:29.9	Yeah, so do listen to Part 1.
0:32.2	And if you have, let's get stuck back into our conversation.
0:37.3	Does that lead us onto the tricky, thorny topic of ourselves?
0:43.0	Yes.
0:45.1	Yep.
0:46.4	Oh, God.
0:47.2	Okay, we've had loads of listener questions about this.
0:50.5	Someone even said, can you even, are you even considered vegan at all, even if you enter Hogwarts

1:01.3	And their cleaning crew, like all of Hogwarts is clean because of house elves.

And one, I don't know if she's listed, but somebody on Twitter said, how selves like what they're doing, just look at Winky. She was ruined after she was freed. And she was. She turned to alcohol and she was so depressed. And they see it as such an insult when they get
1:27.9	fired but they are brainwashed yeah of course yeah it's years and years decades of
1:33.6	it's like yeah but it's like the people that say oh cows want to give you their milk they
1:37.8	come in for milking at a certain time of day you know like no that's conditioning that's conditioning. That's not free will. But how selves are more
1:47.4	conditioned because they talk about it and they say it and they express it in the language that we
1:52.1	understand. Well, that doesn't mean they're more conditioned. That just means they have a better way of
