Hello. Have you read "The Ethics Of Eating Animals" by Bob Fischer? If yes, what are your thoughts about it?

I read about half of it, I sometimes read texts like these to get insight into anti-vegan arguments, how they're framed etc. It became clear pretty quickly than Fischer was making the same half a dozen arguments people here on Tumblr do and so I wasn't really gaining anything from it. That factory farming is wrong but eating animals is not, humane treatment, vegetables kill animals too, what about roadkill etc. Nothing particularly compelling about any of the arguments made in my view, and some pretty fundamental misunderstandings about abolitionism in general.

Honoured and thrilled to have been part of the Haunted Generation panel alongside the excellent and talented pairing of Fortean Times Haunted Generationalist Bob Fischer and Hookland’s founding father David Southwell at Sheffield Hallam University’s Folklore on Screen Convention 2019. A great weekend of numerous fascinating talks, evocative music and intriguing conversation. Thank You and very well done to the organisers David Clarke, Diane Rodgers and Andrew Robinson at The Centre of Contemporary Legend. Also I really liked speaking in a pthalho green lecture hall. Great colour.

Bob Fischer - Wiffle Lever to Full! Event in Birmingham celebrates all things SciFi

A skewed celebration of all things SciFi is heading to the Midlands thanks to author Bob Fischer…

In early 1980s Middlesbrough, Daleks were on every street corner. And so were Klingons, Vogons and crack Imperial Stormtroopers. At least, that’s how it seemed to Bob Fischer, a grubby, wide-eyed eight-year-old growing up in front of the telly. Three decades later, now a author, playwright and BBC radio presenter, Bob decided to rekindle his love affair with all things sci-fi by taking off on a…

“It took me a while to fall under the spell of Music has The Right to Children, but when it happened, the record took over my life for a good while. The crumbly smudges of texture, the miasmic melody lines, the tangled threads of wistful and eerie seemed to have an extraordinary capacity to trigger ultra-vivid reveries that felt like childhood memories. I would experience a flood of images that were emotionally neutral yet charged with significance, a mysticism of the commonplace and municipal: playgrounds with fresh rain stippling the swings and slides; canal-side recreational space, with rows of saplings neatly plotted, wreathed in morning mist; housing estates with identical back gardens and young mums pegging dam wind-flapped sheets on clothing lines as clouds skidded across a cold blue winter sky. I was never sure if these were actual memories from my childhood in the late sixties and early seventies, or false ones (dreamed or seen on television)”
