It was part of a debate over the question, &#8220;Does the animal kingdom need a bill of rights?&#8221; I spoke in favor of the proposal, as did Andrew Linzey and Richard Ryder. Germaine Greer and Mary Warnock spoke against against it.<\/p>\n<p>For its time, the event was a big deal. As I recall, the BBC televised it throughout the UK on one of the national channels. The room (it was a formal setting, in a regal hall) was packed, those in the audience as respectful as they were attentive. <\/p>\n<p>I do not think there was any formal, or informal, vote on the question. So who won the debate is not something anyone can know. I do know, though, that it was a memorable event in my life. For me, personally, I had never before (and have not since) had the opportunity to address so many people, at one time, and in so many different places, on the philosophy of animal rights. I will never forget it. <\/p>\n<p>As to how it came to be posted on YouTube: I haven&#8217;t the foggiest idea.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next best thing to attending a presentation by Tom Regan is to watch him here and then here on You Tube!
