草根团体如何对抗动物剥削产业并取得胜利？ 这期节目我们邀请到 Laura Broxson，爱尔兰国家动物权利协会（NARA）的创始人。Laura 从 13 岁开始成为 vegan、18 岁创办 NARA，至今已在爱尔兰动物权运动中深耕二十余年。她和我们分享了 NARA 如何以不到十人的核心团队，通过卧底调查、立法游说与公众动员的多重策略，成功推动爱尔兰在 2019 年全面禁止皮草养殖。如今，NARA 将目光转向了爱尔兰的养猪业。他们正在推动一项看似改善动物福利的法案——禁止限位栏、分娩栏和断尾等残忍做法——但其真正目的是让工厂化养殖在经济上难以为继，实现一场「后门式废除」。与此同时，NARA 也在积极倡导农民转型植物农业，为产业退出提供切实可行的替代方案。这次对话让我们看到：那些看似基础的动物福利改革，如何成为瓦解剥削体制的利器。除了倡议策略，Laura 还分享了 NARA 如何运作——一个没有领导者、没有等级的团队，成员根据各自的热情自主承担任务，在反种族主义、反性别歧视等议题上保持一致的道德底线，并通过彼此支持来维系长久的行动力。 她的故事或许能给每一位独自坚持的动权倡导者带来一些启发：哪怕只有你一个人，也可以开始行动。嘉宾简介：Laura Broxson 是一位拥有超过 21 年经验的资深动物权倡导者。她是爱尔兰国家动物权利协会（NARA）的创始人，这是一个去中心化、维根且反压迫的团体，曾成功推动爱尔兰的皮草养殖禁令，并使动权倡导进入爱尔兰的左派议程。对 Laura 的 vegan 起源故事感兴趣的朋友，欢迎收听我们的《有点豆腐国际版 vol.02》。在以下平台关注 NARA 的最新动态： 官网：http://www.naracampaigns.org/ Instagram：naracampaigns【时间轴】 00:05 - 介绍与节目概述 00:47 - 爱尔兰的动物权利现状 02:33 - Laura 的纯素之旅 03:26 - 爱尔兰学校的关爱教育 06:57 - 社交媒体的作用 07:58 - NARA 的创立 10:01 - 技能与团队建设 12:14 - 与非纯素者合作 15:46 - 爱尔兰的环保组织 18:18 - 皮草养殖禁令运动故事 25:24 - 农民转型：社会主义党的提议 vs. 政府补偿 26:29 - 养猪业禁令运动 27:41 - James O'Donovan 的研究：《过渡到爱尔兰维根农业体系》 35:25 - “后门禁令”法案：禁止母猪围栏、分娩栏和残忍的标记 39:30 - 爱尔兰农民协会拒绝辩论 40:03 - 运动定位：动物权利优先 42:39 - 搬迁顾虑：「全球思考，本地行动」 45:44 - NARA的去中心化方法 48:19 - 激情驱动的任务分配 49:48 - 支持「无动物研究爱尔兰」的肉毒杆菌运动 50:26 - 结语How can a grassroots organization take on animal exploitation industries—and win? In this episode, we're joined by Laura Broxson, founder of Ireland's National Animal Rights Association (NARA). Laura went vegan at 13, founded NARA at 18, and has been deeply involved in Ireland's animal rights movement for over two decades. She shares how NARA, with a core team of fewer than ten people, successfully pushed Ireland to ban fur farming in 2019 through a multi-pronged strategy of undercover investigations, legislative lobbying, and public mobilization. Now, NARA has turned its attention to Ireland's pig industry. They're advocating for a bill that appears to be a welfare reform—banning sow stalls, farrowing crates, and mutilations like tail docking—but its true purpose is to make factory farming economically unviable, achieving what Laura calls a "backdoor ban." At the same time, they're actively promoting a transition to plant-based agriculture, offering farmers a practical path out of the industry. This conversation reveals how seemingly modest welfare reforms can become powerful tools for dismantling systems of exploitation. Beyond campaign strategy, Laura also shares how NARA operates—a leaderless, non-hierarchical team where members take on tasks based on their own passions, united by a shared moral baseline on issues like anti-racism and anti-sexism, and sustained by mutual support rather than criticism. Her story offers inspiration for every animal rights advocate fighting alone: even if it's just you, you can start—and make a difference.For those curious about Laura's vegan origin story, be sure to check out our Slightly Tofu International Vol. 02 for an in-depth look at her journey.Follow NARA's work and stay updated on their campaigns at http://www.naracampaigns.org/ (IG: naracampaigns).Laura is a veteran animal rights activist with over 21 years of experience.
