Alex Neeson and the Abolish Pests Revelation
Language & Region opened up when Alex Neeson encountered Bethany Brookshire's perspective on animal hatred and pest categories. Alex Neeson became willing to engage with a completely different cultural framework for understanding her relationship with roaches. She moved from her native language of 'murder, kill, destroy' to adopting concepts like 'abolish pests' and seeing animals as having inherent value rather than existing only in relation to human convenience.
