Dear Colleagues: In this Commentary, I have two guests: Ronnie Lee, who founded the Band of Mercy in 1972 and the Animal Liberation Front in 1976, and Roger Yates, an adjunct lecturer in sociology at University College, Dublin. As I am sure you are aware, I am opposed to all violence and I do not support militant direct action. This is the starting point for my discussion with Ronnie and Roger but we go on to talk about a variety of topics. And we are all agreed about the importance of creative, nonviolent vegan education. I hope that you enjoy the Commentary. And by the way: Go vegan. It's better for your health (animal foods cause physical harm); it's better for the environment (animal agriculture is an ecological disaster); and, most importantly, it's the morally right thing to do.
