Animal liberation
Book • 1975
First published in 1975, 'Animal Liberation' by Peter Singer has been a pivotal book in the animal rights movement.
It introduces the concept of 'speciesism,' the systematic neglect and exploitation of nonhuman animals.
Singer argues that the interests of all beings capable of suffering should be given equal consideration, regardless of their species.
The book critiques factory farming and animal experimentation, presenting alternatives and advocating for a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.
The revised edition, 'Animal Liberation Now,' updates the arguments to reflect current issues, including environmental impacts and the spread of viruses from factory farms.
