Philip Wollen
Philip Wollen is an Australian banker turned philanthropist, environmentalist and animal rights activist. In 2012, he gave a passionate and convincing speech at an Intelligence Squared debate, titled Animals Should Be Off The Menu.
Wollen’s main philanthropic project is The Kindness Trust, which supports “some 500 mission-critical projects in 54 countries for Children, Animals, the Environment, the terminally ill, and Aspiring youth.”
“Animals must be off the menu because tonight they are screaming in terror in the slaughterhouses, in crates and in cages. VIle, ignoble gulags of despair.”
“The Earth can produce enough food for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”
