I now know the time of my debate with animal rights movement leader Gary Francione, who promotes “abolition” and veganism, toward the end  of eventually prohibiting all animal domesticaion—including dogs.  He believes that sentience gives one the “right” not to be property.

Our debate on the Medved Show is in the second hour—or 1-2 PM Pacific Time, for those who get the show  live.  Here’s a live link.  The show is syndicated and thus might be broadcast at a different time in your locale.

Tune in. Gary and I interact quite frequently, so it won’t be a shout fest.

Update: The link above is a bad stream. If you are having trouble, try this one.

Dear Reader,

We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.

Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.

Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.

Will you give today?
