Smith versus Francione Today on Michael Medved Show

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.
