Wesley J. Smith on C-Span About A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy

About a month ago, I traveled to Seattle to give a speech at the Discovery Institute about my new book, A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement. The event was covered by C-Span and is now available for viewing by hitting this link.

This is the third time one of my appearances has been covered by C-Span. The first was a panel discussion about bioethics in 2001 at a UVA book festival.  The second was a speech about my last book, Consumer’s Guide to a Brave New World.

It’s “interesting” to see how I have aged over the years. But let’s not get into that.  Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
