There is nothing greater than human egoism. The guy in black is an ideal example of typical human being - he is aware that animals suffer, but he likes meat; he chooses taste over morality.

Thank you for posting this interview. I agree totally with the argument that simply because we can, or have eaten animals in the past, we should continue to do so now. It's a terribly flawed premise. The answer to the question of "should we" - or course is "NO"! Please live thoughtfully - Go Vegan :)

Just listening to these people talk as if they know more about reasoning than Tom Regan does gave me tunnel vision... If he had raised his voice like he damn well deserved to in the face of such ridiculous rebuttals, he would've been labeled as a crazy animal rights activist. Tom Regan's patience is extraordinary.

Lawl at that douchebag who brought up third-world countries. Factory farming is the leading cause of world hunger.

@TheGoonie1985 completely agreed, I'd find it difficult to stay calm with the majority in support of something so silly.

@AntiSpeciesistWorld

You found nothing but red-necks, thugs, and intelectually handicapped people in that crowd. That explains why they applauded all those silly statements. Hats off to Mr. Reagan for standing his ground without losing his cool.

[AntiSpeciesistWorld]

the guy in the black t-shirt talking at the start is just... ugh I'm not even gonna go there, we all know how ridiclious his statement is, I can't believe that the crowd applauded him, ha this is gonna be so funny to look at for everyone 50 years from now because of how ridiclious it was.

Thick group. Tom may as well be talking to a group of american southerners. Very dismissive "good ole boy attiude" in that audience. They hardly let him speak. 

[gilliangirl1]

Poor Tom, he really has his work cut out for him with this audience. Get that guy comparing an appendics operation to slaughtering an animal? Good grief. This is clear evidence to me that eating meat reduces a person's IQ level! And that Elvis Presley wannabe, what a pompous ass (with an edge of misogeny added)

[pete26785]

where did they find the black haired gimp? what a brain dead buffoon.

[conn6m]

I think it would have been better if there was some actual opposition to Dr Reagan. I don't call a Butcher. or Factory farmer a worthy opponent to such a famous figure

[TheTvrulesthenation]

does anybody think the guy in the black shirt looks like one of those fat Vegas Elvis impersonators? :P
