Let us know what he says. The Animal Rights movement is slowly, state by state, trying to get increasingly restrictive animal-related legislations passed "in the name of what is good for animals" - but really takes away individual rights, and fails to protect animals in many cases - and guys that sound like him are ripe to fall for it and support it.
