    Default Interview of Donald Watson

    I found an interview of Donald Watson on Vegan Means. Watson grew up on a small family farm, and, apparently, animals squealed at slaughter even before factory farming. Surprising, isn't it?

    I love this interview. He must have been such a great person.

    I particularly like how he refers to that farm, which I suppose nowdays would be called 'humane' or something, to a death row,

    where every creature's days were numbered by the point at which it was no longer of service to human beings
    I actually raised this point with a friend who was telling me how fairly her grandfather treated his animals on his farm, but I don't think it struck a chord - and mind you, she is a great cat lover and very sensitive about animals' needs. But in her mind offering an animal food and safety in exchange for its life is just quid pro quo.

    What a wonderful man. I would not like to have witnessed the things he did growing up. I would have loved to have met him.

    That would have been nice. (Thinking: Too bad this idea never was materialized...)

    That would have been a fascinating interview Korn, it is a pity it never happened.

    That would have been excellent. What a wonderful man, not read it all yet (as 25 pages) but printed it to read later and keep.
