A Tribute to Liz Dealey (03/10/1956 - 28/03/2025)

Freedom of Species

This episode is dedicated to animal rights and vegan activist Liz Dealey or Lizzie as she was affectionately known. Lizzie was tireless and relentless in her aim to bring more kindness and consideration into the world. Her whirlwind energy saw her found Melbourne Chicken Save, and dedicate decades of focus, passion and time into the animal rights activist landscape, especially in Melbourne. Her inclusive leadership, her sense of humour, the heart on her sleeve way she carried herself, and her punk rock energy endeared her to several generations of activists. Lizzie's life and works are remembered here in this episode by Stace from Melbourne Chicken Save, Pam Ahern from Edgar's Mission, and with written tributes by many more.
