I now know the time of my debate with animal rights movement leader Gary Francione, who promotes “abolition” and veganism, toward the end of eventually prohibiting all animal domesticaion—including dogs. He believes that sentience gives one the “right” not to be property.
Our debate on the Medved Show is in the second hour—or 1-2 PM Pacific Time, for those who get the show live. Here’s a live link. The show is syndicated and thus might be broadcast at a different time in your locale.
Tune in. Gary and I interact quite frequently, so it won’t be a shout fest.
Update: The link above is a bad stream. If you are having trouble, try this one.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
