Very interesting interview with Andrew Knight.

Interview with Andrew Knight.
Andrew wanted to study veterinary medicine in order to be a better advocate for animal welfare. However, parts of the veterinary course required the use of animals that were specifically sourced just for practicals. Andrew didn't feel that these practicals were ethical and challenged the university. He won his case and has pioneered an alternative track for students who wish to conscientiously object to parts of their educational courses.
As well as working as a veterinarian in the UK, Andrew works with several animal welfare organistions on many projects, particularly regarding intensive farming techniques. He also promotes vegetarian companion animal diets.
