Good to hear about this. Thanks.

[Tucker]

I won't be around tonight when the discussion takes place but I would be really grateful if someone could ask Gary to expand on his views of direct action. I am under the impression rightly or wrongly that he opposes all illegal action in relation to AR activity. Is this correct? If so , does that not imply that all laws are more important than all animals' lives? If he does not oppose all (AR) illegal action , what sorts of action does he support ? Thank you in advance.

[Lisa Blundell]

Excited! =D

[Annette Holding]

I'm really looking forward to this discussion with Prof Gary Francione. I'm off to do some research and see if I can come up with an intelligent question.

[Mateja Presern]

Looking forward to it!

[Tucker]

Will there be a transcript of the chat or is there already one and if so where can I find it?

[Carolyn Bailey]

There is a transcript, as the chat went for 6 and a half hours, the transcript is taking quite some time to finish though. I hope to have it up ASAP. I'll send everyone a message letting them know it's available as soon as I post it.

[Tucker]

Thanks :-)

[red dog]

I'm looking forward to the transcript ... I wish I could have stayed for the full six and a half hours, but I had no idea it would run so long. Maybe it should have been a chat series?

[Lisa Blundell]

6 hours? Wow, that's what I call dedication. Gary Francione is amazing.

[Carolyn Bailey]

it was great red dog, he was very generous to stay for so long. We had no idea it would be so long either, but it was 6 and a half hours well spent. Next time we'll kick him out sooner! :-) The transcript will be up by the end of the week, hopefully.

[red dog]

No, don't kick him out! It's great that he chatted for so long, just too bad I had other plans.
