About this episode

Dennis Prager discusses the moral implications of dolphin and whale rights with Professor Tom White.

In this infamous episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager's conversation with Professor Tom White, a professor of ethics at Loyola Marymount University, is a thought-provoking exploration of the moral implications of treating dolphins and whales as individuals with rights.  In this episode, White argues that dolphins and whales are not just animals, but individuals with a level of consciousness and self-awareness that is similar to humans, a concept that is baffling to Dennis.  Follow on Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timeless-wisdom-with-dennis-prager/id1517302239 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4SZEYeH4tuLr2FvG4ok1rl Learn more about Dennis Prager: https://pragertopia.com/ Follow Dennis on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DennisPrager Follow Dennis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedennisprager/ Follow Dennis on X: https://x.com/DennisPrager Learn more about the Salem Podcast Network: https://salempodcastnetwork.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .
