Cows, Cyborgs, and our Conscience: Exploring the Role of Technology in Animal Agriculture

  • Fletcher Room, Fletcher Free Library 235 College Street Burlington, VT, 05401 United States (map)
 

Ayana Curran-Howes, Zach Goldstein, and Catherine Horowitz


Come discuss ethical questions about the influence of technology on the livestock industry. Do virtual reality headsets provide real happiness for cows? Would you eat a lab-grown mammoth meatball? What is the difference between a human, animal, and robot? Join us as we weigh these and other questions, eat some snacks, and screen the movie “Cow,” a (mostly dialogue-less) documentary exploring the everyday life of a dairy cow.
