The purpose of this forum is to provide a venue for ALF forum members to declare a challenge for a formal debate, and when answered, build and clarify its parameters. This is not a forum for the actual debate, although discussing a debate's parameters may seem like a debate, and actually lead to clarity of various positions.

After the debate parameters have been agreed to in the Proposals forum, a formal debate thread will be set up here. This is where the formal debate takes place. Only the debate participants are allowed to post here.

Threads will be created for each debate to allow the rest of the ALF forum members to comment on the debate as it progresses. Polls will be taken here. Debate participants must refrain from posting here until the debate is over.

For any topic not covered by the above categories

"The same system that exploits animals exploits workers, women, people of color and the environment."
