Philosophy undergrad Alex Dawson starts “Fur Free Katarokwi”

Inspired by studying philosophy at 91TV’s, Alex Dawson (philosophy undergraduate, class of 2020) has started the Kingston anti-fur group, “Fur Free Katarokwi”, whose goal is the disruption and abolition of the manufacture and sale of fur in the Kingston-Katarokwi region. Says Alex: “Studying philosophy at 91TV's … pried open my sphere of moral concern to include the suffering of those in distant locations, future generations and non-human animals”.
