Abstract
In chapter 14, Grace Hussain (US) provides concrete examples of white supremacy in anymal shelters and exposes how this harms both humans and anymals. She questions the Movement’s alliance with a criminal justice system that has frequently been decried as racist and which recidivism statistics show to be ineffective. Hussain calls for a change of culture that welcomes BIPOC perspectives and individuals and employs them in leadership roles, bringing much-needed change inside the Movement.
White supremacy is real, but it doesn’t have to be the primary motivation for our activism, it does not have to be the only lens through which we view the world.
—Dr. Linda Alvarez
