Bill Maher on the "ethical treatment of animals"

Post by Jebus »

Here is another disappointing and irrational viewpoint from an otherwise intelligent person:

How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

When exactly does the part about animal treatment start in the video?

He's also talked about it though

It's becoming a norm for them to agree on the issues, then continue doing the exact opposite, its the new strategy

^It doesn't take you to the spot when you click on the video? That's the case for me (it takes me there).

That's it. He responds to the question about his PETA involvement.

I actually do like it when people are not talking about animal welfare or veganism very dogmatically or ideologically, but he did make some serious mistakes he shouldn't have made as a rational person.

His views have some obvious flaws, but he obviously recognizes that animal welfare is a major issue. He's someone that can probably be reasoned with. In my book, he's way ahead of most people.
