Erik Marcus (who I tend to agree with on a lot of things): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoX0r_Bclx0&NR=1 

Armaiti May (veterinarian with interesting intro, on public perception and opinion of activists, countering the stereotype, etc.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khSrNc04h4g&mode=related&search= 

Alex Pacheco (founded(?) PETA, who early on, documented what was going on in a Silver Springs research lab, and got the place shut down for cruelty to animals, government support, winning a majority of court cases.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOdQBfQ8Sb8 

Harold Brown (former cattle farmer, turned outreach coordinator at Farm Sanctuary, and interviewed on Tribe of Heart's "Peaceable Kingdom", talks about the difference between liberation, rights & welfare. He compares welfare with hospice work. Interesting concept. He compares rights to midwives, bringing forth a new paradigm & way of life.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOdQBfQ8Sb8 

Alex Hershaft (FARM, etc. http://www.farmusa.org  & http://www.farmusa.org/Updates/images/VGLSmithArrest5W.jpg  talks about polarizing philosophies that fracture the movement, and also speaks about the theory that militants are being squashed, and others are being influenced financially by the industries. He says we all have different paths, but that we need the militants.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWF9KG_JSUk 

Bryan Pease (lawyer, whose foie gras investigation generated a lot of media coverage and influenced the ban in Chicago and a similar pending ordinance in San Francisco, and introduced many to hidden factory farm issues. He also refutes the anti-welfarist argument, saying that the countries with the best animal welfare laws also have the most vegans, and that it is our duty to make things better for the animals now, and not fight against welfare reforms.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWF9KG_JSUk
