In this episode we spoke about a topic that is very much related to the buddhist teachings: Animal Welfare.  Our guest for this topic was Carlo Luyckx - who has many years of experience working in Brussels as a representative of the EBU. We talked about the impact we have as human beings on the suffering of animals on this planet. With the EBU group Carlo provides a lobby for animal welfare in Brussels to get EU laws changed to reduce suffering of animals in the food industry and to create a powerful base of supporters for the cause. He got into Buddhism in Scotland in the 1970s where he got into contact with Tibetan Buddhism and learned the fantastic art of Thangka painting.
