very candid, informal, and informative. i haven't seen "behind the mask", but after reading will's book and previously being indifferent to the animal rights movement, i was moved by descriptions of what was being done to these animals in the name of corporate product protection. most people don't know the specifics of these horrific tests. i think that's your best "education" of why this movement exists. go graphic, explain in candid detail why they are "torturing" these animals.

I just watched a very recent video of Shannon, and she has definetly improved the strength of the impact on this topic. I like her, and I dont understand with the huge problems of atrocities in the world abourt our friends animals, why pay attencion on marginal things like her way to talk , the way she looks.. .... I wish many people would put their asses out there and be activist for animals rights, be coherent turning Vegan and stop blah blah and not doing anything,tipically!!

What's annoying about me? Your comment is just negative. Maybe you would like to let me know how I can improve my skills to better aid audience members and listeners.

[SleepySkeptic]

Really?? Enlighten me as to why.

I appreciate the work she does but she is absolutely horrible/annoying to listen to talk.

[SleepySkeptic]

All they have to do is stop torturing the weak. They won't do this, therefore they cannot stop us. All they are trying to do now is hamper the hippy activists who do things legally. They don't hinder the criminal protester one bit. What message does that communicate to the protesters?? They'll be labeled as terrorists regardless, may as well get things done in the process. This means instead of losing money, the exploiters will be losing their lives. Fine by me, humans are vastly overpopulated.

Fascinating to watch.

A thorough explanation on the laws used against animal rights protesters, activists and the scary things the authorities do to try to stop them. A good video to watch.
