告别了全球南方错综复杂的文化语境，《全球动权前线的集体复盘》下半部分把视线转向现代动物权利运动较早发展的地区——欧洲。这里的动权倡议历史更长，但挑战并未因此减少。从政策推动到公众沟通，再到更具对抗性的行动形式，欧洲的倡导者在不同法律框架与社会压力下，不断试错、调整、寻找更有效的路径。
节目首先聚焦奥地利。来自 Verein Gegen Tierfabriken (VGT) 的 Julian 和 Neni 带来了一场关于理想与现实的讨论。作为坚定的废除主义者，他们却在实践中选择了更务实的施压路线：到底是在为「更大的笼子」争取空间，还是坚持寸步不让？他们结合亲身经历（包括组织核心成员曾经历司法程序的现实压力），反思了为什么单一的推广 Veganism 常常不够用，以及忽视行动安全意识可能带来的代价。
接着，我们来到爱尔兰。National Animal Rights Association (NARA) 的创始人 Laura 回顾了她二十多年的倡导经历。她直指早期运动中忽视本土调查的误区，也对传播方式中存在的性别问题提出尖锐批评。对她而言，与价值观相近的社会力量建立稳固合作，以及行动者的质量而非数量，才是支撑长期倡导的关键。她也坦诚，支撑她走过漫长岁月的，往往是一种不愿妥协的情绪与坚持。
最后，我们进入英国动权史中更具争议的一段经验。前 Animal Liberation Front (ALF) 成员 Max 讲述了直接行动（Direct Action）背后的逻辑。从朋克文化到对强势商业体系的反抗，他质疑温和劝导与公共教育在某些情境下的边界：当房子着火时，我们是继续发传单，还是先把人救出来？他也分享了关于可赢目标的策略思考，以及一些以经济压力为核心的路线如何被理解与选择。
无论是渐进的政策推动，还是更强烈的社会施压，本期节目从欧洲前线的视角再次提醒我们：动权倡导没有标准答案。在愤怒与希望之间，我们更需要寻找的，是在各自的语境里更可行、更有效、也更能持续的改变方式。
After exploring the complex cultural contexts of the Global South, the second half of Collective Reflections from the Frontlines of Animal Advocacy turns to Europe, one of the earlier centers of the modern animal rights movement. The history here is longer, but the challenges remain. From policy work and public outreach to more confrontational tactics, advocates keep testing what works under different legal and social conditions.
We begin in Austria with Julian and Neni from Verein Gegen Tierfabriken (VGT). Both are committed abolitionists, yet their work has pushed them toward pragmatic pressure campaigns. Are they fighting for “bigger cages,” or holding the line without compromise? Drawing on lived experience—including serious legal pressure faced by their organization—they reflect on why “just promote veganism” often isn’t enough, and why security awareness matters.
Next, we move to Ireland. Laura, founder of the National Animal Rights Association (NARA), looks back on more than two decades of advocacy. She points to early mistakes, especially the lack of local investigation, and she criticizes gender problems in some outreach styles. For her, long-term advocacy depends on strong alliances and on committed, capable activists—not just bigger numbers. She also speaks openly about how anger, and a refusal to compromise, have kept her going.
Finally, we enter a more controversial part of UK movement history with Max, a former Animal Liberation Front (ALF) member. He explains the logic of direct action and questions the limits of gentle persuasion: when a house is on fire, do we hand out flyers, or do we break the door down and pull people out? He also shares how he thinks about “winnable targets,” and about strategies centered on economic pressure.
Whether through gradual reform or stronger social pressure, this episode offers a simple reminder: there’s no single formula for animal advocacy. What matters is finding approaches that are workable, effective, and sustainable in your own context.
