The ADAPTT Lecture Tour: Information and Booking
Are you interested in having a guest lecturer on animal rights at your school?
My 60-minute oration on ethical veganism is truly eye-opening! After 1,524 lectures in 135 schools in 27 states to more than 35,000 students, there is no doubt that my presentation is the most powerful, informative and passionate speech ever conducted about ethical veganism!
I am available for private classroom presentations, and will do as many lectures as I can arrange in a one- or two-day period. I am not interested, though, in any "open to the public" talks unless you can guarantee an audience of at least 15-25 meat-eaters. I despise preaching to the choir.
From 1997-2007, I gave private classroom presentations in the following schools:

Hamilton Southeastern High School (IN)Viewpoint High School (CA) Champlain-St. Lawrence College (Quebec City)Concordia University (Montreal) Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute (Canada)In November 2002, Professor Mel Seesholtz of Penn State-Abington wrote: "I just wanted to thank you again for a brilliantly delivered, mind-opening, inspiring presentation. I've been to many lectures and presentations in my career, but NONE was as moving, as thought-provoking as yours. FYI: I was unable to teach my 9:30 class today because my mind is still whirling. THANK YOU!!"
In April of 2000, educator Jill-Anne Fowler—formerly of Bowling Green State in OH and Westminster College in MO—wrote: "If the US wants to rid itself of violence, it needs to examine not only violence committed between people but also violence between species. The violence committed against animals eerily and frighteningly parallels descriptions of domestic abuse, police brutality and murder. Gary's talk and the discussion I held afterwards awoke my students to these realities. His ideas and philosophies are rarely heard in this society, and if they are, they are seen as extreme. As educators, we must question why this is so. Please consider having Gary in your classroom."
Veridically yours,
