Animal Rights Lectures 2026 with DDr. Martin Balluch

In five lectures, VGT Chairman Dr. Martin Balluch will discuss the philosophical basis of the animal rights movement, a topic that was hotly debated in the 1980s and 2000s, but is currently less prominent. That these issues are far from being fully discussed will be evident at our ANIMAL RIGHTS LECTURES – after each one-hour lecture, there will be a short break to refresh oneself before the subsequent discussion.
