Thanks for a great lecture. I boycott all companies that "test" on animals of any kind!! Animals are very sentient creatures, who deservre respect, dignity, and love. Suzy

How can you fight the Universities who are experimenting on animals?

I wish you could be a leader to ending all of it!

@bordercollieluv why is activist in quotes? activism is GREAT. don't let the US version of activism, which is confused with ecoterrorism, get you down:D

[herman1850]

Did he say "suprisingly, the EU is much more advanced in Animal Legislation than we are"?

This isn't surprising at all, since there is much more European welfare legislation, in general. Yet Americans can't get it through their thick skulls that the USofA isn't always the greatest nation in the world.

I love how he talks at the beginning badly about scientists because they need 'proof' and are wasting time. Yet later on he tries to back up his /assumptions/ with 'scientific proof'. Pick a side.

Thanks Marc... this message opens eyes, some real close to home, I have a uncle who can kick a precious little dog "sunshine" to make it go home, and this might get it across to him,...had he felt what she felt,

God bless you Marc,

Wonderful video!

Upon seeing this video, and in fact, while never knowing who you were or that you even existed, I can truly say, I honestly believe, I just found my "Closest Living Relative". Thank you so much for saying many of the things that I have attempted to educate others, but have always been looked at as a "frickin" wierdo. I am not an "activest", I do not scream and yell at people, and tell them they are wrong. I agree, that gets nothing accomplished. But after years, I have almost given up.

Peace
