Jeff Perz is a Canadian animal rights philosopher and activist. His activism has involved the use of portable audio-visual units placed on the streets. In this way, Jeff Perz has shown the public video images of non-human animals being exploited and killed for human consumption while simultaneously presenting rational arguments for animal rights and a vegan lifestyle from an abolitionist perspective. He has written political analyses intended for general animal advocacy audiences.
Jeff Perz has published “Adulterating Animal Rights: Joan Dunayer’s ‘Advancing Animal Rights’ Refuted” in Volume II of the Journal of Animal Law & Ethics, also available at www.speciesismreview.info. He received his Master’s degree in philosophy from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His Master’s thesis is entitled Core Self-Awareness and Personhood and argues that all non-human animals are moral persons and ought to be legal persons.
Currently, Jeff lives in Australia with his family and intends to found an animal rights organization and pursue animal rights theory at the Doctoral level.
