About the Participants...
Andrew Butler:
Andrew Butler is the outspoken and controversial representative of animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in the United Kingdom.
Andrew Butler considers that whether you are a staunch animal rights advocate, an activist that is just getting started, or a complete skeptic it is his job to travel the world in an attempt to help clarify peoples understanding of the animal rights movement.
Andrew is outspoken in his views and has taken on political and community leaders in both the United States and Europe. He has clashed with authorities in many areas especially in his belief that children have the right to be informed about the evils of meat and make their own dietary decisions.
Andrew looks upon this international telecast of "The Great Hunting Debate" as an opportunity to tell a world wide audience of his belief that animals are not ours to use for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation or any other purpose.
Andrew Butler is outspoken and controversial and we look forward to a very passionate and fiery debate when Andrew meets Wayne LaPierre in the Library of Kings College London to debate the motion "THAT THERE SHOULD BE A WORLDWIDE BAN ON HUNTING."
Wayne LaPierre:
Chief Executive of the National Rifle Association of America. The Association and its 4 million members, are staunch defenders of Second Amendment rights and is highly effective in the political arena in its firm resolve to protect the right to keep and bear arms.
The NRA was founded in 1871 and the reknowned actor Charlton Heston served as its President from 1998 to 2003. Wayne LaPierre has been with the NRA since 1978 and became its CEO in 1991 and is now its leading spokesperson on all NRA political and legislative activities.
Wayne is an New York Times Best Selling Author. His latest Book is "Guns, Freedom and Terrorism."
Hunting Support
Hunting has been an important human activity for thousands of years. Historically, hunting has been essential to survival and it continues to be in remote areas of the United States and other countries. Additionally, millions of people enjoy its many social, economic, and ecological benefits.
The NRA strongly supports every law-abiding American's privilege to hunt. Along with approximately 15.1 million American hunters and many national conservation organizations, we're working to preserve the American hunting tradition for future generations.
Managed Hunting is a beneficial use of renewable wildlife resources, being in fact a necessary management practice to maintain a proper balance among most species and their habitat. Hunting is essential to the success of wildlife management.
In the early 1900's it was the hunter who realized the destructive nature of unmanaged hunting and the hunter was the first to do something about it by providing the public will and the funds necessary for the development of North America's successful system of wildlife conservation and management.
Today, hunters contribute millions of dollars each year toward wildlife management and conservation projects.
Hunting Opposition
Today, hunting, which was a crucial part of survival 100,000 years ago, is nothing more than a violent form of recreation that is unnecessary for the subsistence of the vast majority of hunters. Hunting has contributed to the extinction of animal species all over the world.
Although less than 5 percent of the U.S. population hunts, it is permitted in many wildlife refuges, national forests and state parks, and other public lands. Forty percent of hunters kill animals on public land, which means that every year, on the half-billion acres of public land in the U.S., millions of animals who "belong" to the more than 95 percent of Americans who do not hunt are slaughtered and maimed by hunters, and by some estimates, poachers kill just as many illegally.
If left unaltered, the delicate balance of nature's ecosystems ensures the survival of most species. Natural predators help maintain this balance by killing only the sickest and weakest individuals. Hunters, however, kill any animal they would like to hang over the fireplace-including large, healthy animals which are needed to keep the population strong.
