just compare the demeanor of Keith with the interviewer. Keith: calm, doesn't interrupt, not confrontational; Interviewer: defensive, argumentative, condescending.

Man..fuck this interviwer.

[seraph101]

Fucking dumbass interviewer.

[deanmullen10]

I agree with most of what he says but for many parts he seems to be an absolutist, i.e his disagreement with Peter Singers view of a non-absolutist view on animal rights nevertheless for most of what Keithe says, he is right and the interviewer is not putting out well points yet still believes he is.

00:03 and in 1750 an overwhelming majority of British people would have supported the atlantic slave trade but society changes because society start's off wrong and becomes better, were not done yet but someday hopefully animal slaughter will end too.

@CmdrTobs Thats ridiculous & not true. GP's know all about the serious adverse reactions from prescription drugs & the devasting harm they cause including fatalities & forward thinking Gps do NOT support it. FACT The survey was entirely accurate so if you find it laughable I can only assume you are missing the point. As I said, which you ignored, ex vivisectors themselves support non animal research as they know the futility of it & its irrelevance to humans which misleads genuine research.

[CmdrTobs]

@Cruelty2animalssucks "When Keith said that 85% of Gp's were ....." - Because it's laughable. GP's are to scientific research what Garage mechanics are to Thermodynamics. The title GP may dazzle the Public but the interviewer saw through the appeal to popular authority.

If you were ever going to conduct a valid survey of what professions in an industry thought about animal testing you would talk to Research Biologists, Pharmacists, MD Consultants and I think we both know what they would say.

[Cruelty2animalssucks]

It doesnt matter how sensible, valid & important Keiths points are it seems to go straight over the interviewers head.When Keith said that 85% of Gp's were unhappy with animal research & want an inquiry, as well as Mp's & other world experts in the field including an ex vivisector, the interviewer doesnt even acknowledge it & just goes on to say so YOU dont accept the argument from 'scientists'. Poor Keith he must have felt so frustrated at the mans ignorance. Drugs Kill -hows that working?

[sometalhead]

I'm glad that aside from being a wonderful and brave human being Keith is also smart and eloquent love 5:54
