About the book
Animal Liberation Now revisits Singer’s argument that the capacity to suffer gives an animal’s interests moral importance. It examines how that principle applies to the treatment of animals in laboratories and food production.
The 2023 revision brings new evidence and developments into the discussion, including animal sentience, industrial farming, climate change and disease risks. It combines philosophical argument with an examination of the systems and individual choices that affect animals’ lives.
Key ideas
- Equal consideration of interests across species
- Animal experimentation and industrial farming
- Food choices, climate and practical change
